“A little girl and her family have been living in a remote area of Saskatchewan while her father works on a dam project. One day she finds out the project is done and they will be moving to Toronto at the end of the school year. The little girl doesn’t know Toronto; she knows HERE. She knows her friends and neighbors, where the fox lives, where the wolves howl, the creek, the trees, but she doesn’t know Toronto. How will she keep her memories of HERE alive when she leaves? With the help of her teacher, she comes up with a way. This book was such a delightful surprise and would be a great book for a child who is experiencing change in her life, most especially a move. James’ illustrations will pull you into the little girl’s world as she lists the things she knows. Winner of the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award.”—Sue, Paulina Springs Books, with locations in Sisters and Redmond, OR
