A unique idea about seeking out and holding onto the feelings we think will make us feel a certain way, and learning that emotions don‘t always work the way we expect them to.

Moving to a new place is such a relatable story to so many people, but it‘s not often I encounter a story where someone moves to the other side of the world! Ruth‘s experience reminded me of making new friends and missing old ones, but I was lucky enough not to also have a language barrier and leaving a sibling behind. Ruth‘s family is right: you need courage, perseverance, and patience in life.

Stunning artwork and a very cute story.

A thoughtful graphic novel that helps kids understand big changes like divorce and new families, told in a way that is honest, funny, and easy to connect with.
This graphic novel tells the story of Jen, a girl who has to move to the country with her mom and new step family.The images show Jen‘s frustration, jealousy, and growth. The story explores mature themes like divorce, blended families, and finding your place, but the graphic novel format makes them easier for younger readers to understand and relate to.
