图像未显示在按钮上 Tkinter

Question

I'm trying to simply add an image to a tkinter button. I tried everything:

import tkinter as tk


root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('300x300+300+150')
photo = tk.PhotoImage('home.gif')
btn = tk.Button(root, image = photo, width = 100, height = 100)
btn.image = photo  # even with this does not work
btn.pack()
root.mainloop()

I also tried with PIL setting the photo variable equal to ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open('home.gif')) , I tried easly the open function, the absolute path of the photo (and yes, the photo is inside the same directory of my script), but anything works. The window just pop up with a big button, without image inside.

UPDATE: I tried with other images, and I noticed that some images are shown while others no. This is because the images with transparent background cause a bug or a problem to tkinter... so, I do not know if there's a way to solve this. On google I find out that some people use canvas but I actually need the image to be inside the button so I do not know how to do.
