About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a transition, such as moving to a new house, starting a new school, or feeling like they do not quite fit in with their peers. This gentle animal fable follows a tortoise who feels lost and searches far and wide for a place to call home, only to discover that everything he needs is already a part of him. It beautifully addresses themes of belonging, self-reliance, and identity. Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, this story provides a soothing reminder that home is not just a building, but a feeling of security we carry within ourselves. It is a perfect choice for calming bedtime anxieties or normalizing the 'unsettled' feelings that come with big life changes.
