About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a major life transition, such as moving to a new city or starting at a new school, and needs to understand that they carry their history and strength with them wherever they go. Written by the Sibert Medal winning author of Fry Bread, this story explores the concept of human movement across generations and geographies. It frames the act of walking not just as travel, but as a profound connection to ancestors and a testament to human resilience. Through lyrical prose and evocative imagery, the book addresses themes of loneliness, belonging, and the enduring power of family love. It is perfectly pitched for children ages 4 to 8, offering a comforting perspective on change by showing it as a natural part of the human experience. Parents will appreciate how it celebrates cultural heritage and provides a gentle, hopeful framework for discussing the complex emotions that come with finding one's place in a new environment.
