A Piece of Home

Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, particularly a move or a change in environment where they feel like they no longer fit in. This story follows Junho as his family moves from Korea to West Virginia, beautifully capturing the disorientation of losing one's status as 'ordinary' and becoming 'different.' Through the lens of a young boy, the narrative explores how we carry our identity in our hearts while learning to find beauty in unfamiliar surroundings. Ideal for children aged 5 to 8, this gentle story emphasizes that home isn't just a location, but a feeling we cultivate through shared memories and small, physical connections to our past. Parents will appreciate the way it validates the sadness of moving while offering a realistic, hopeful path toward belonging. It is a perfect choice for fostering empathy or supporting a child who feels like an outsider.
