Adam Leitman Bailey Describes the Main Character’s Journey in ‘Home’
Adam Leitman Bailey sits down with a group of students from Birch Family Services, QECC to explain how he came up with the name of the main character in his children’s book, Home, and the journey the book takes him on.
Do you guys know what imagination is? I had to make a decision. Do I name the character of the book a person like Stephen or Annabelle? Or do I call it the boy? So, I decided to call it the boy. Why? So, when you guys read it at home, you can pretend it’s you. The small, small apartment in the big city, the mansion, or any of the others. We’re on a journey now. You’re going off. You’re saying, I’m trying to pick any home I could live in in the world. What would I pick? And that’s what this boy is doing.
