Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, particularly a move to a new city or country, and is fixating on what they will lose rather than what they might gain. It is a comforting tool for validating the 'what-ifs' and anxieties that accompany leaving a familiar home. The story follows two children, one in Mexico City and one in New York City, who are preparing to move to each other's respective homes. Through parallel storytelling and detailed illustrations, it explores themes of anxiety, cultural curiosity, and the realization that while the scenery changes, the essential joys of childhood remain the same. This book is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who need to see that their fears are normal and that their new world will eventually feel like home too.
