Description:
From a Pulitzer Prize-nominated author and a New York Times bestselling illustrator comes a heartfelt story about moving somewhere new, the meaning of home, and making new friends.
A little girl sends a message in a bottle as she says goodbye to the home she has always known. With the bags packed and the farewells said, she begins her journey to a new place, and she wonders: Will the moon and stars look different when she's gone? But soon it will be time to say hello--to her new world...and maybe even to a new friend? This touching picture book is a tribute to the power of new beginnings and the simple joy of human connection.
