Two new neighbors discover that friends are what make a house a home
 
Clancy has just moved. He is missing his old house terribly—the new house is much too big and much too lonely—and he wonders how he will ever make it his home. With the help of his new friend Millie, Clancy builds towers to the sky and trains to the street outside, and together they build the home that Clancy thought he had lost forever.

Reviews

"A great choice for reading to a group or sharing one-on-one."  —School Library Journal


"Though the story deals with a particular childhood dilemma, Clancy's feelings are conveyed with a dignity that should appeal to a wide audience."  —Publishers Weekly


"Written and illustrated with sensitivity and flair, this large-format picture book will resonate with other children who have felt out of place in new surroundings."  —Booklist


"Quietly charming."  —Kirkus Reviews
