Unwrapping the Story

If you have ever moved you will know it is a bittersweet experience.  You feel sad to leave your present home behind but excited to go and live in your brand new one.  

Evie Bear and her Dad are moving from the city to the country which will be quite an adjustment.  She has reservations about going as she fears she may not like her new place and if she will make new friends.  Her loving dad assures her that everything will be fine and that she will come to love her new home as much as she did her old one. 

He comforts her along the journey by stopping to buy blueberry pancakes and then having a sleepover at a campsite where they roast marshmallows around a campfire and cuddle together in a cozy hammock for the night before getting back on the road again the next morning.  

After being lost for a bit they finally arrive at their destination. They unpack their belongings and tuck everything away.  The two spend the first night cuddled together in bed where Dad reads her three bedtime stories. They fall fast asleep surrounded by "home". 

Evie Bear learns that no matter where she goes, as long as her Dad is with her, she is  home.  She settles in her heart that home is where the heart is as it's there that she feels safe, loved, happy and content.  

The mixed-media illustrations are adorable.  They are full of emotion, detail and activity.  The story is about a strong bond between a Dad and his Daughter and the positive message is:

"Home is people who love you. "   I love the book and highly recommend it.
