Books like Two Homes
By Claire Masurel
For the child adjusting to life split between two houses, this book says plainly what they need to hear — you belong fully in both places, not half in each. Calm, tender, and steady, with warmth instead of worry.
A four-year-old boy loves visiting his grandmother and great-grandmother, Nana Downstairs and Nana Upstairs, until one day his mother tells him Nana Upstairs won't be there anymore.
On a quiet rainy morning while Papa and Luca sleep, a little girl follows her mama through their cinnamon-scented house, wanting to be wherever Mama is.
A boy named Riley and his family spend one whole day celebrating everything they love about their old dog, Jasper, because his cancer means they must soon say goodbye.
A quiet meditation on the everyday moments — love and loss, hope and joy, wonder and mystery — that thread through every single life, shown through glowing art and spare text.
A boy named Eli grows up on his grandparents' farm, learning to love the barn, the fields, and the river that surround him — then shares those same places with his baby sister, Sylvie.
A boy tags along for a Friday night shift at the school where his dad works as a custodian, shooting baskets in the half-lit gym and sweeping the stage while the rest of the city sleeps.
A young girl and her dog Lulu are inseparable companions who play, explore, and read bedtime stories together — until Lulu grows old and weak, and the girl must face losing her.
A gray cat named Charlie appears from the woods and settles into Elizabeth's and Sarah's nights, but disappears every day until a storm keeps him away and reveals his other home.
After his dog dies, a boy named Zack refuses to believe anything he can't see — until a walk through his neighborhood with his friend Emily helps him feel the invisible pull of love that grief can't break.
A gentle picture book imagines Cat Heaven, where beloved cats run through fields of sweet grass, play with favorite toys, and are cared for by angels who rub their noses and ears.
A gentle retelling of the Nativity story, set among barn animals who witness a quiet, extraordinary birth on a cold night.
Two children upset about being apart from their mother learn that everyone who loves each other is connected by an Invisible String made of love, one that stretches any distance and never breaks.
