In this SEL picture book, a young girl and her family move away, and although the girl feels lost at first, she learns to understand big changes in her life by using her creativity and making maps.

When a girl and her family move to a new country, the world seems big and scary. So her family helps her draw a map of their new neighborhood so she can find her way. At first the map only includes streets and buildings and the places the girl needs to get to, but then the map grows to include her granny and Joe-Dog who live an ocean away. What starts as a way to stop feeling lost becomes something else: a way to explore, discover and even feel at home again.

This thoughtful picture book gives kids a creative tool to help understand the world around them, adapt to change and map a brighter future.
