Reach for this book when your child expresses embarrassment about your home, your car, or your family's financial situation compared to their peers. It is a gentle balm for the 'not enough' feelings that arise when children face social judgment based on material possessions. The story follows Stella, a fox whose mobile home (the Starliner) is mocked by a group of weasels. Through her parents' steady love and a change of scenery, Stella learns that a home's value is defined by the warmth inside and the kindness of the community around it. This is a perfect choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating the sting of class-based bullying or the transition of moving to a new place. It provides a safe space to discuss how words can hurt and why our roots are something to be proud of, regardless of what others say.
