When Nyla has to leave her home in the countryside to start life again in the city, all she can think about is everything she misses from before. So when a comet comes crashing through the city streets and starts to glow and grow, Nyla can't resist a chance to head somewhere that feels closer to what she had before ... but what starts as an escape could be just the thing to make her finally feel at home.
From the award-winning Joe Todd-Stanton, comes an exquisite and heartfelt picture book touching on the bewildering experience of moving house. This beautiful story explores how this can affect a child's sense of belonging, but also how it can open them up to new and wonderful experiences.
This book follows a girl and her dad as they move to a different city and try to build a new home in an unfamiliar area. The details are exquisite, make sure you take the time to look at the artwork taped to the walls, Nyra's starry socks, and the wee cat (named Fig) who is on almost every page. A beautiful, heartwarming work of art.
