Reach for this book when your child is facing a major transition, particularly a move to a new home or a shift in their physical environment that leaves them feeling small or unsettled. It is a gentle exploration of the difference between a house and a home, focusing on how physical objects like toys and furniture are secondary to the emotional presence of loved ones. Rosa's journey through her empty new room mirrors the internal process of making space for new memories while longing for the familiar. Best suited for children ages 3 to 7, this story provides a comforting roadmap for navigating the loneliness and 'empty' feelings that often accompany big life changes. Parents will appreciate the way it validates a child's need for time and connection rather than just quick material fixes.
