By Linda Urban, Hadley Hooper (Illustrator)
Two kids transform moving chaos into epic adventures through imagination.
Mabel and Sam face the chaos of moving into a new house, where boxes and movers create a world of potential mishaps. But in their imaginative minds, the living room becomes a museum, the house transforms into a ship on the high seas, and their beds are spaceships to the stars. As they explore these fantastical realms, they discover the magic of imagination and the comfort of home. Will their adventures bring them closer together and help them settle into their new life? Dive into a heartwarming tale of creativity and discovery.
At the new house, there were movers and shouting and boxes and blankets. There were many places a girl like Mabel and a boy like Sam could be tripped over or smooshed or trod upon. There was one safe place where they would not. And that is how Mabel became a Sea Captain. In this three-part picture book of moving house and imaginative play, Mabel and Sam sail the high seas of their new home; tour the intriguing museum of their living room; journey through outer space to the safety of their own beds; and discover how far afield—and how close to home—imagination can take them.
