Today is a day of excitement - it's time to move! As a young Cherokee girl says goodbye to the swing, the house, and the city she's called home her whole life, she readies herself for the upcoming road trip. White her mother drives, the girl draws the changing landscape outside her window. She looks forward to the end of the journey, where she'll eat the feast their family has prepared, play in the creek with her cousins, and settle into the new rhythm of home. With warm, expressive artwork by Caldecott Medal-winning artist Michaela Goade and spare, lyrical pros by Sibert Honor-winning author Traci Sorell, this heartwarming story follows a family as they experience the joy of moving back to their ancestral land.
