The fourth picture-book I have read from talented author/artist Jessixa Bagley, Vincent Comes Home was created together with Bagley's husband, Aaron. It is a lovely book, one which pairs beautiful ink and watercolor artwork with a poignant and ultimately heartwarming story about a cat who discovers that home and family have been with him all along. Although understated, the story here really does pack an emotional punch, and I finished it with a lump in my throat. It probably helps to be a cat-lover. Recommended to fans of Bagley's work, and to anyone looking for children's stories addressing the themes of home and family, and where one belongs. ( )
