After reading this book, I instantly thought of the phrase "There's no place like home." This story is a book a young girl who lives in rural Canada and is about to move to the big city, Toronto. I believe she's afraid because it's completely new to her. This is such a great book to use to help students of all ages make real life connections. This would even be a great book to use with big school students who are about to embark on college or the workforce. This story also brings forth a great art activity: making a picture of something you always want to remember. This book is great because the pictures are very bright and will capture your attention. This book would be great for anyone who can relate to moving and getting the feeling of forgetting the place you called home for such a long time. I never had the issue of moving, but my best friend did and I can see how it was hard for the little girl. I think this book might appeal to a parent trying to help their young child understand about moving. Very good read!
A nice story about moving to a new place and taking the memories of the old place with you.
