Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, like moving to a new home, or when you want to explore the concept of heritage and belonging together.

It follows a young Cherokee girl and her mother as they leave the city to settle on their ancestral lands, surrounded by extended family and deep cultural roots. It is a beautiful choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating changes in their environment or seeking to understand how their own family history shapes their identity. Parents will appreciate the gentle pacing and the way it celebrates community and the natural world as sources of enduring strength and comfort.
