What about My Goldfish?

Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, such as moving to a new home or changing schools, and is struggling to articulate their fears. Jamie is an elementary-aged boy who feels his world is being upended by a move to a new city. While adults focus on logistics, Jamie focuses on his goldfish and his dog, using his pets as emotional anchors to process his anxiety and sense of loss. This gentle story helps children understand that while physical surroundings change, the bonds of family and the responsibilities we hold keep us grounded. It is an ideal choice for children ages 6 to 9, offering a realistic but hopeful perspective on how to say goodbye to the old while making room for the new.
