Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or is struggling to find their footing in a new environment. Whether you have recently moved, changed schools, or are simply navigating a season of transition, Amelia's story offers a gentle mirror for the longing to belong. It validates the exhaustion of constant change while providing a beautiful roadmap for how to create a sense of home within oneself and the natural world. Amelia is a young girl in a migrant farming family who is tired of the 'accidental' roads that never lead to a permanent house. The story follows her journey as she discovers a hidden 'shortcut' to a beautiful tree that she claims as her own. Through this secret space, she finds the agency to plant roots even when her life feels rootless. It is a poignant, realistic, and ultimately hopeful choice for children ages 5 to 9 who are learning to navigate the 'in-between' spaces of life.
