Coming on Home Soon by Jacqueline Woodson

3.0

A modern Caldecott Honor picture book. Reading old and new Caldecotts intertwined continues to be an interesting way to see how the world has changed. In this one the writing is relatively simple but not boring. And the production values on the art and paper and binding is high. The picture is a small one and almost timeless except for being set in a rural household at a time of war, perhaps WWII. There is just a little bit of something missing from this one, not quite sure what. But rural scenes don't usually resonate for me. In any case, good enough. 3.5 of 5.
