About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about why neighbors move to the country or if your family is preparing for a transition to a new community. While it serves as a focused phonics tool for mastering prefixes like re- and mis-, it also introduces the complex concept of immigration with a gentle, age-appropriate lens. This short reader highlights the hope and resilience involved in starting over in a new land. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to combine essential literacy practice with foundational social studies. By focusing on the journey and the arrival, it helps children aged 5 to 7 build empathy for those navigating new environments while strengthening their decoding skills.
