Helps kids work through the awkward space between “normal” and “new.”
Irina has the whole year planned out. Fourth grade, same school, same best friends, same everything. Then her parents share the news that changes it all: they're moving.
The ground shifts beneath her, and Irina tumbles into a strange, in-between place — a blank pocket of time where all her big, tangled feelings live. To find her way back, she'll have to face the awkward corners and confusing emotions that show up whenever life changes shape. What she discovers there might just be exactly what she needs to move forward.
“Perfect for helping kids embrace change and work through transitional periods.”
“This story is beautifully written and brings into focus what kids may be going through when their life is shaken up by change. The author really makes everything Irina is going through very relatable. Any kid going through a life transition will resonate with Irina.”
