New Deal: A Home on the Page

Carol Hinz at Lerner/Carolrhoda has bought world rights to A Home on the Page by Kao Kalia Yang, author of the Asian/Pacific American Award-winning From the Tops of the Trees. Seo Kim, who previously illustrated Yang’s A Map into the World, will illustrate, for a fall 2025 publication. In the picture book, a girl yearns for a sense of belonging in the U.S., where her people, the Hmong, are often subjected to stereotypes and racism, and begins to build a home for herself through the written word. Erin Murphy at Erin Murphy Literary Agency represented the author, and Jennifer Rofé at Andrea Brown Literary Agency represented the illustrator.
