Home: A Celebration

Reviews / Votes

"Edited by Charlotte Moss, this collection of reflections on home from renowned writers, designers, actors, artists, photographers and activists is sure to offer fresh appreciation for our own dwellings that have meant more than ever to us in the last year. Readers can expect essays from Alice Waters, Stephen Gambrel, Julian Fellowes, Gloria Steinem, among many other inspirations in their respective fields. Moss was inspired by Edith Wharton's The Book of the Homeless, which served as a fundraising effort for children and refugees during WWI. This book will benefit No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit organization that supports the 11 million children experiencing food insecurity in the U.S." -VERANDA

"If a house is not a home, then what exactly is? Home: A Celebration, a new book edited by decorator Charlotte Moss, and made in conjunction with No Kid Hungry, could be a meditation on this very prompt. What is more, its roster of contributors reads like a who's who of creative circles. (Chef Alice Waters, AD Hall of Fame designer Kelly Wearstler, actress Bette Midler, and feminist icon Gloria Steinem are just a handful of the 125 contributors who share their thoughts.) Last but certainly not least, a portion of the proceeds will go to help children living with food insecurity." -ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST

"Designer and author Charlotte Moss is all action, all the time, even in the worst of times. So no surprise that when we all sat numb in the beginning of the pandemic, Moss was putting together a book, Home: A Celebration, to help raise money for No Kid Hungry, an organization that has been working to feed children during this long crisis. She was inspired by The Book of the Homeless, which Edith Wharton put together in 1916 to help raise money for war refugees." -CURBED

"In the early, horrific days of the pandemic Charlotte Moss took inspiration from a book Edith Wharton created in 1916 as a fundraiser for refugee children during the dark days of World War I and assembled her answer to it, Home A Celebration. In collaboration with No Kid Hungry she asked scores of talented friends to contribute a personal take on the meaning of home, gathering these to make a memorable keepsake that also benefits vulnerable children. One hundred and twenty-two generous spirits answered the call, from Joyce Carol Oates to Duro Olowu to Alice Waters, in thoughtful, unique and creative ways. The reminiscences, works of art, even recipes, add up to a fascinating ode to sanctuary and portrait of the way we see home." -LA DOLCE VITA
