About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, particularly a move that separates them from their established social circle. It provides a comforting, dog-centric perspective on the anxiety of leaving a place where one feels like the 'queen' or 'king' of the neighborhood. The story follows Reggie, a beloved neighborhood dog, as she navigates the confusion of relocation and the deep longing for her old friends. Through Reggie's journey, the book explores themes of loyalty, resilience, and the slow process of making a new place feel like home. It is a gentle, realistic adventure for children aged 7 to 10 that validates the sadness of goodbyes while offering hope for new beginnings. Parents will appreciate how it externalizes the child's own 'moving blues' through the eyes of a relatable animal protagonist, making big emotions easier to discuss.
