Two siblings moving to a new home—and away from their grandmother—gather up treasures in “a thoughtful and moving story of memory and change” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
A Kirkus Reviews Best Picture Book of the Year
For their move far away, Gracie and Jake are sad to leave the golden bridge, the trolley tracks, and Nai Nai. But they fill empty boxes with treasures—a marble, a snake, a pair of wings. Tiny reminders of all they love—so happiness stays close, no matter where they go.
With grace and warmth, this lyrical picture book speaks to the difficulty of transition and celebrates the ways in which love and family give us the strength to weather life’s changes.
“Beautifully illustrated . . . Simple but vivid language.” —School Library Journal
