About the Book



"Beatrice's entire world changes when Papa gets a new job in a faraway city and their family has to move"--



Book Synopsis



A moving picture book about a girl settling into a new home with help from a camera and scrapbook.

Beatrice loves her idyllic life in the countryside and all that comes with it. She loves building snowpeople in the winter, gardening in the spring, catching fireflies in the summer, and frolicking through freshly-fallen leaves in autumn. But when Papa gets a new job in a faraway city, Beatrice's entire world changes. Saying goodbye to Gram and the stories she tells of her long-ago adventures hurts most of all

Her dads try to help Beatrice love her new apartment in the city, but not even the nearby playground or friendly dog neighbors can lift her spirits. She worries this new place will never feel like home.

But when a surprise care package from Gram arrives, containing a notebook, a camera, and some encouragement, Bea knows just what to do. Suddenly, there's a new adventure around every corner of her new city--so many things to do and see...from rumbly underground train rides and sights along the water to checkers in the park and making new friends. It all goes into Beatrice's scrapbook of memories that finally make her city a home. She couldn't wait to share her stories of adventure with Gram who has one more surprise--a holiday visit.

With Ron Grady's signature collage style that radiates warmth, Beatrice Looks for Home is a soothing picture book about embracing new experiences and finding home in new places



Review Quotes




Praise for Beatrice Looks for Home

"A young girl learns that a new home can mean new adventures thanks to a care package from someone special... Moving can be difficult for children; Grady does an excellent job of both capturing Beatrice's big feelings and offering a sweet message of optimism...A tender and sympathetic tale of change and hope."--Kirkus Reviews



About the Author



Ron Grady loves to dream up stories, write words, and draw pictures that celebrate the beauty and complexity of what it means to be a kid. He always tries to see the bright spots on the cloudiest days. For many years, Ron taught preschool, and now (when he's not drawing or writing), he spends his time learning more about what it's like to be a kid. He lives in a cozy apartment just across the river from Boston. Check out Ron's art and adventures at childology.co
