A resourceful girl finds a way to make her new house a home. All it takes is a few personal items, some books, and most of all, a friend. Rosa and her mother have moved to a new house. Rosa knows what she needs to feel at home in her new room: on Monday, clothes in the closet; on Tuesday, her treasure box on her desk, on Wednesday, a poster on the wall. But still, somehow, her room seems empty. "More," her cat Concertina seems to say. Late at night in bed, she dreams about how to decorate her room. On Thursday, she borrows five new books from the library. On Sunday, as Rosa sits in her room drawing a picture, she looks out the window and sees a girl outside playing. Now Rosa knows what she needs to make her room special: a new friend. Perfect for children struggling with transitions, this sensitive story reveals that even disruptive changes can present exciting opportunities and imaginative possibilities for new experiences and new friends.
This is a sweet little book about moving to a new house and making new friends. The story is told very simply, but the emotions underneath the matter-of-fact text are very strong and will ring true for children and parents alike. Recommended! (ReadThatAgain)

A nice story about the difficulty of moving and what makes you feel at home. Kid's rooms are very special to them. Children will relate to this story even if they haven't moved to a new place.
