In this timely yet timeless picture book, Home Is in Between, critically-acclaimed author Mitali Perkins uses her own childhood to describe the experience of navigating multiple cultures and embracing the space--the hyphen--in between them.

Shanti and her parents say goodbye to the monsoon rains in their Indian village. They move to a snowy town on the other side of the world. At first, it isn''t easy for Shanti to be new. Back and forth she trudges between her family''s Bengali traditions and her new country''s culture. Again and again, in between.

She feasts on biryani rice while kids in town eat hot dogs and PB&J sandwiches. She watches Bollywood movies at home and Hollywood movies with new friends. Is she still Indian? Is she becoming American? How should she define home?
