Home Place is a 1990 book by Crescent Dragonwagon and illustrator Jerry Pinkney about a family who comes across the remains of a homestead and a girl who imagines what that family was like.

Reception

Publishers Weekly, in a review of Home Place, wrote "With striking craft, Dragonwagon limns a forgotten family's day-to-day existence. Pinkney's characteristically stunning, limpid watercolors are lush in shades of greens and browns, with touches of vibrant yellow in the flowers."[1] and School Library Journal called it " A wonderfully evocative work."[2]

Home Place has also been reviewed by BookList,[3] and Kirkus Reviews[4]

It received the 1991 Golden Kite Picture book Award.[5]
