Bookroo's summary

When a family must leave their cherished home, they embark on a journey to redefine what home truly means. As they settle into a new house, they realize that home isn't just a place—it's the love and memories they carry with them. Will they find comfort and safety in their new surroundings, or is home something they can never leave behind? This touching story explores the essence of belonging and the bonds that make any place feel like home.

From the publisher

A family learns what home really means, as they leave one beloved residence and make a new home in another. A Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young People Home can be many things–a window, a doorway, a rug . . . or a hug. At home, everything always feels the same: comfortable and safe. But sometimes things change, and a home must be left behind. Follow a family as they move out of their beloved, familiar house and learn that they can bring everything they love about their old home to the new one, because they still have each other. This heartfelt picture book by Stephanie Parsley Ledyard is richly illustrated by former Pixar animator Chris Sasaki. A BookPage Best Book of the YearA Bank Street Best Book of the Year
