Reach for this book when your child is facing a significant life transition, such as moving to a new home or changing schools, and is struggling to vocalize their fear of the unknown. Through the eyes of Kam and Mingo, two bird friends, children see that it is normal to feel a mix of sadness for what is left behind and nervousness about what lies ahead. The story beautifully validates the grief of leaving a familiar 'nest' while gently introducing the concept that friendship and love travel with us. Ideal for children ages 3 to 7, this story uses the metaphor of migration and moving nests to make the abstract concept of 'change' feel manageable and concrete. Parents will appreciate how the book moves at a slow, reflective pace, allowing space for kids to process their own feelings. It is a comforting choice for bedtime during the weeks leading up to or following a big move, providing a safe harbor for a child's big emotions.
