"Home is where the heart is."
Today, once again, the day sprawls out before us. Happy days, and not-so-happy days - no matter what, here at home you're always wrapped in the warmth of your favorite place. It's the little things: the small joys, scattered all about, that make everyday life worth living.
A full-color collection of vignettes about daily life at home, presented by popular illustrator Ida Chiaki.
