Oh my WORD, this is the sweetest book with the softest and most beautiful illustrations. I can't get over how darling the pictures are. I absolutely fell in love with this short little children's story. "lost can be found, broken can be mended". I just love it. I will be buying this for the children in my life. Highly recommend.

"But lost can be found, broken can mend."

A beautifully touching, particularly relevant story about a family of ants who are displaced from their home. They search endlessly for another perfect place to be, enduring both good and bad along the way. Eventually, they realize that they can remain together and rebuild their home. In turn, they open their new home to others in need on their own journeys.

Everyone deserves a home of their own and a community, and this book does a wonderful job of capturing that. It also must be said that the illustrations are just as beautiful as the sentiment. ♥

(Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free digital copy in exchange for an honest review.)

I am new to the world of this author. I loved her gentle storyline and matching illustrations. This is a simple and quiet tale that takes the reader through the main character’s journey - a great book for bedtime or exploring various settings.

I adored this book and plan to buy a copy for my classroom library. As an immigrant, and a teacher in a school with a very high immigrant population, I am always looking for books that touch on moving home, intercultural situations, and immigration. This book, in a very gentle way, touches on all three. I was especially impressed when the book touched on having a language barrier, an experience familiar to a lot of my students.

I would recommend this book for older children. While it is cute, and wonderfully gentle, the themes and allegories would be better understood by older children.

A beautiful story about overcoming changes in living situations. The illustrations are absolutely stunning. The concept of the story is also very heartwarming.

However, while reading the story aloud, the flow of the sentence structure felt awkward at times. Sentences felt a little lengthy for children under 5 years old.

This was such a cute little book! The artwork is stunning. It follows the story of an ant family who are weavers and their journey to find a home after theirs was taken (destroyed) from them. To children, it's a story of ants, to adults it can signify the journey that many displaced people have to go through. It doesn't take extravagant things to make a house a home.

A sweet and heartwarming story for children about losing your home and trying to find somewhere new and welcoming. I liked the message and the illustrations

This is such a fun journey! The illustration style fit the story perfectly, and I enjoyed this family adventure!

A cute and poetic children's book about losing your home and trying to find a new familiar place in a welcoming community. Pretty illustrations. Emotional story with a heartwarming ending.

as an adult, I really liked this and thought it was really sweet. My son, on the other hand, was just kind of confused on what was going on. The illustrations are very sweet and I loved the realistic aspects of the story, which we don’t see enough in children’s books. Definitely a conversation starter and a book that stands out from the rest

very good book,i love it ,i recommend this book for students ,this book is very simple the book have very beautiful picture s .

What an adorable story! When I was a child I always imagined what it was like to be a bug and how big everything would look to me. I used to put my head down in the grass and imagine how an ant would see things like blades of grass. This story brought back magical childhood memories that I haven’t thought about in decades. Beautiful!
