Mabel and Sam at Home

In this heartwarming early chapter book, Mabel and Sam navigate the overwhelming experience of moving to a new house. Surrounded by movers, boxes, and general upheaval, they discover a single safe spot that quickly becomes the launchpad for incredible imaginative adventures. From sailing the high seas as a sea captain to touring a living room museum and journeying through outer space to their beds, the siblings transform their unfamiliar surroundings into a world of wonder. This book beautifully illustrates how creativity and sibling connection can provide comfort and a sense of belonging during times of change, making it perfect for children aged 4-8.

At the new house, there were movers and shouting and boxes and blankets. There were many places a girl like Mabel and a boy like Sam could be tripped over or smooshed or trod upon. There was one safe place where they would not. And that is how Mabel became a Sea Captain.
