Out now: The Colours of Home
Sally Soweol Han’s beautiful picture book The Colours of Home is out now with Thames and Hudson Australia. The Colours of Home is a sun-speckled story about one little girl connecting the two countries she calls home through the matching of colours.
Some words from Sally on The Colours of Home:
‘This is such a special book—Bomi, the protagonist, moves to a new country where her parents grew up, and everything feels so different except for the silver moon. As she explores her new home, she finds comfort in connecting the new with the old by spotting colours in her daily life.
‘The Colours of Home’ blends my personal experiences with the cultures and landscapes of both Korea and Australia. I wanted to connect the distinct qualities and beauty of each country through colours.
I can say almost everyone has experienced moving to a new country or region, changing schools, and so on. And sometimes, these changes can be frightening (at least they were for me😢). This picture book is a perfect way to learn about and embrace new changes in a delightful way, especially for those who are going through similar transitions.’
