A remedy for restlessness and/or the type of Gypsy-blood, spring fever that is quickened by the wind and urges one to follow a wilder inner compass and throw caution to the four corners of the earth. This is a lovely children's book that reminds us that, "Home is where the heart is."
This book first published in 1942 helped quell my own bi-annual, hard-wired urge to uproot myself and start over somewhere new. Consequently, I read it aloud to both of my wayward and wanderlust children to hopefully innoculate them from the vagaries of hitting the road and to let them know my love was with them like a polestar wherever they decided to journey.
My daughter returned to herself and found her inner sense of home.
My son did not return.
And at this time of year, I acknowledge my son' Gordon Clark's decision to journey to another plane of existence. After years of struggle with mental health issues, he decided to end his incarnation here on earth and not come home. Instead, he chose a farther destination. Yet, my love for him remains, like a polestar. And when he's ready, we will meet again.

So beautiful to read aloud. Evokes this mystical timelessness and lulls little one to peaceful sleep.

This is one of those sentimental books that hits home with parents but doesn't have the same impact on the child. It would be good for cuddle time, though.

You guys. Calm down. I think this is a sweet story about how your mom will always be there. Who else remembers pushing their parents away, when deep down you really needed them close? That’s what I read in this story. Sure, run away. But I’ll be there, too.

I remember this book fondly from childhood. I am glad I’m able to read it to my children.
This story has gorgeous illustrations, and I thought the story was cute. Both of my kids enjoyed this book. The sentences weren’t too long, and it kept my littles’ attention.
This is a cute book for kids and is a must for our collection of only for nostalgia purposes.
