The Long-Lost Home

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling with a recent move or feeling like they don’t belong in a new place. It’s a gentle story that externalizes the big emotions that come with unfamiliar surroundings by following a young character who is briefly lost and searching for the comfort of home. The book beautifully explores themes of loneliness, resilience, and the idea that home is defined by love and family, not just a physical location. For young children ages 5 to 7, it provides a safe, reassuring narrative that normalizes their fears and opens the door for conversations about what makes them feel secure and loved, even when everything around them has changed.
