Reach for this book when your child is feeling lonely after a major life transition or is struggling to find their place in a new community.

Set in 1960s Georgia, the story follows Alice, a young girl who has been uprooted from her home and forced to move to a small town where she feels she doesn't belong. Through her reluctant daily walks with Miss Millie, an elderly neighbor, and a charming dog named Clarence, Alice learns to look past first impressions and the deep-seated prejudices of the era. The book handles themes of racial segregation and personal loss with a gentle, age-appropriate hand. It is perfect for children ages 8 to 12 who are developing their sense of empathy and social justice, offering a roadmap for how unexpected friendships can heal a hurting heart.
