About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant life transition, such as moving to a new home or starting at a new school, and is struggling with the fear of being separated from the familiar. This story speaks directly to the 'small person in a big world' perspective, validating the anxiety that comes with change while providing a gentle safety net of hope. Based on the classic film An American Tail, the story follows Fievel, a young mouse who becomes separated from his family during their immigration journey to America. Through Fievel's eyes, children explore themes of bravery, perseverance, and the enduring bond of family. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who need to see that even when we feel lost or overwhelmed, we possess the inner strength to keep going until we find our way home.
