About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing the daunting prospect of a move or is struggling to process the transition to a new environment. Through the gentle eyes of Milo the Fox, children are invited to navigate the complex emotions of saying goodbye to a familiar space while carrying their most precious memories with them. This heartwarming story addresses the anxiety of the unknown and provides a framework for healthy closure. It is particularly effective for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2-6) who might feel a sense of loss for their physical surroundings. By framing the house as a friend that remembers them, the book offers a comforting perspective that validates their feelings while building excitement for the adventures and friendships, like Raya the raccoon, that await them at their new home.

Sensitive Topics
The book handles the 'loss' of a home and neighborhood secularly and metaphorically. The personification of the house saying goodbye is a gentle way to address the grief children feel without it being overwhelming. The resolution is hopeful and grounded in reality.
