Dear Parents,
This is a tale about friendship and about unity among people in times of hardship. It is also a story about our relationship with our home, which, even if the houses of our friends were open to us with all their love, would still be the most comfortable place we can find. This story allows us to have a dialogue with our child about the meaning of “home.” Is a home toys and personal items? Is it family warmth and a sense of security? What does a child feel when they leave their home for any reason?
