Home Is Where the Heart Is

Reach for this book when your child is feeling like an outsider, struggling to adjust to a new environment, or expressing anxiety about where they fit in. Whether it is a move to a new neighborhood or starting a new school, this story serves as a gentle emotional anchor for children navigating the transition from feeling like a 'stray' to feeling like part of a family. The story follows Bo, a small puppy who finds himself on the sprawling Greenleaf Farm. Through Bo's eyes, readers explore the initial loneliness of being new and the gradual, heartwarming process of building trust with others. It is an ideal choice for the 5 to 9 age range because it mirrors their own social development, teaching that kindness is a universal language and that 'home' is built through the connections we make with those around us.
