Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In this timely and touching work, Bunting and Himler present a naturalistic look at the plight of the homeless--their tale of a boy and his father living in a busy airport is all the more disturbing for its lack of a pat resolution. Ages 5-8. (Mar.)

From The Critics
The real meaning of "home" is best understood by those who have no home. Ask the boy in Eve Bunting's latest tale, he'll tell you. He and his dad don't earn enough to pay rent so they live at the airport, moving from terminal to terminal to avoid detection. The boy's loneliness, anxiety, and feeling of captivity are described vividly in text and pictures. Oh, to be free, to fly away...home. 1993 (orig.

    I was Read this book in my childhood

    Even when it was read to me in 3rd grade, i understood clearly the point the book was trying to make:every homeless person has their story and they are everyday people like you and me.

    This book finds me very sad. Just yesterday we read it in school. I almost cried. It's about a mom who died and she left her son and her father. They don't have much money at all. But the airport cafferteiaia prices they can afford. Sometimes they can't even get something to drink. They have bagpacks with everything they need. They dress in blue jeens, a blue shirt and a blue jacket. One of the things in their bagpacks are a change of blue cloths. They sleep sitting up. Dad says wearing the same things is one way you can't be noticed. They sleep in different parts of the airport but they still sleep sitting up. Andrew's dad works in the office and as a school jainitor. The bus fea is about $1. Andrew even saves money in his shoe so sometime they can find a place to live. My teacher says that if they get caught the child will get put in a home and the father will be out on the streets like they both used to be.
