A Home Is a Nest

Parents might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about a big change, like moving to a new house or adjusting to a different family situation. It addresses the universal need for a safe and loving place to belong. The story follows a small bird whose cozy nest is suddenly gone. The bird and its family must search for a new place, discovering along the way that home isn't just a physical structure, but the feeling of being together and loved. Through soft, gentle illustrations and a simple narrative, this book reassures young children (ages 3-7) that home is a feeling of safety and family connection that they can carry with them anywhere. It's an excellent tool for opening conversations about change and normalizing feelings of uncertainty.
