In the tradition of Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House comes a heartfelt story about a father and son learning to accept the new while honoring and celebrating the old. For as long as he can remember, Leo has lived in the blue house with his dad, but lately the neighborhood is changing. People are leaving, houses are being knocked down, and shiny new buildings are going up in their place. When Leo and his dad are forced to leave, they aren't happy about it. They howl and rage and dance out their feelings. When the time comes, they leave the blue house behind--there was never any choice, not really--but little by little, they find a way to keep its memory alive in their new home.

“Leo lived with his dad
in an old blue house
next to a tall fir tree.
The paint was peeling,
and the roof was mossy.
There were leaks and creaks.
And when the wind blew,
the whole thing shook.
But it was theirs.”
And then one day it wasn't. The landlord informed Leo and his dad that he was going to tear the house down and build a new house. The two were forced to deal with this big change. How do they do so?
A wise book with interesting characters that talks about important things.
