Synopsis:

This picture book is an independent sequel to Katajavuori’s «Let’s go home already», in which 8-year-old Vennamo visits different homes in their apartment building. We meet diverse families where, in addition to Finnish, people speak languages such as Latvian, Italian, Arabic and Amharic. The book explores these families, their customs, celebrations, and leisure activities. The book shows how Finnish families have a wide range of traditions, languages, and cultures, which will help the reader to better understand the world.

Katajavuori and illustrator Salla Savolainen developed a functional illustration exhibition tour 2017-2019 based on the book.
