Reception

Publishers Weekly, in a review of Home Place, wrote "With striking craft, Dragonwagon limns a forgotten family's day-to-day existence. Pinkney's characteristically stunning, limpid watercolors are lush in shades of greens and browns, with touches of vibrant yellow in the flowers."^[1] and School Library Journal called it " A wonderfully evocative work."^[2]
