Where Is Home? Storied Places and Belonging in Indigenous and Immigrant Fantasy Novels for Children.

The author reflects on how two children's fantasy novels "The Barren Grounds" by David A. Robertson and "No Place Like Home" by Linh S. Nguyễn explore home and belonging from Indigenous and immigrant perspectives beyond settler-colonial definitions. Topics include how place, story, and relationships shape identity; the role of children's literature in challenging colonial ideologies; and the ways these narratives foster respectful, between Indigenous peoples and immigrants.
