About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with a recent move, feeling isolated in a new environment, or missing old friends. It is a gentle, comforting choice for children navigating the heavy emotions of transition and the fear that they have been forgotten by those they left behind. Through the character of Louie, the story explores how creativity serves as a bridge between the past and the present. By building a diorama out of a shoebox, Louie takes an imaginary trip back to his old neighborhood on Halloween. This beautiful narrative validates the sadness of relocation while celebrating the power of a child's inner world to provide comfort and hope. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to process complex feelings of longing and belonging.
