The Pointes We Call Home is a heartwarming, beautifully illustrated children’s book that captures the quiet magic of growing up in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. Told through the eyes of a curious five-year-old girl and her loyal Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, this story invites readers on a gentle journey through five unique communities along the lake.

With lyrical language and dreamy watercolor artwork, author Chloe Swanson brings to life the everyday wonders that make this town feel like home — sailboats drifting by, kids laughing in splash pads, parades down tree-lined streets, and porches full of stories at sunset.

This book is both a love letter to a beloved hometown and a timeless celebration of community, nostalgia, and belonging. Perfect for families who live in or love the Grosse Pointes, or for anyone who cherishes the places that shape us.
