When a child is adopted, the joy of finding a "forever family" can be overshadowed by the trauma of leaving the only home they've ever known... Red-billed firefinches live in the African Savannah, in the Great Karroo. They commonly build their nests inside of people's houses. The people of Africa like having the firefinches around and have made up many stories about them over the years. Village indigobirds always lay their eggs in the nests of the red-billed firefinches. The red-billed firefinches raise their babies and the village indigobird babies together. Told by award-winning author L.N. Cronk and illustrated by S.N. Whitfield, Lately's Home is the story of one such village indigobird, raised in a family of red-billed firefinches. Lately fits in well with her new "foster family" . . . almost too well. Can she find the strength and courage she needs to leave the only home she's ever known - and discover the wonderful life she was meant to live?
