She knows everything about this place-her road, the forest where she plays hide and seek, how the wolf howls at night. But now, they'll be moving to Toronto, the place on the map with the big, red star. A thoughtful teacher helps her begin to process the transition of moving to a different place, and keeping her memories, what she knows, of her current home. Gorgeous, van Gogh-esque illustrations capture the feelings of a little girl whose world is changing, as well as the life lived in a rural community. A powerful glimpse into the feelings of childhood, this is a lovely book to help children deal with the common experience of moving. 40 pages, hardcover with dust jacket. Ages 4-8. |
