\u00a0<\/em>Flora slept and woke.
\nShe felt sun
\nAnd wind
\nAnd every day she searched the horizon for something small
\nThat would grow into a home.<\/em><\/p>\n

One day, a weaver ant family\u2019s world is turned upside down when their home is destroyed.<\/p>\n

With only a few belongings on their backs, they set off in search of a place to live, meeting many creatures on the way. Some are kind, some are not so kind. Some of the places are warm, some are cold. Sometimes the creatures they meet are friendly, sometimes they are not. And\u00a0some are on similar journeys, moving across the land<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

They stay here and there, under and over ground, up high and down low. But\u00a0none of the places feel quite right<\/strong>. Will the weavers ever find somewhere they can call home again?
\n\"\"
\nThis heartwarming read from award-winning author\/illustrator Victoria Turnbull<\/a> teaches\u00a0values of inclusivity and community<\/strong>, putting the concepts of\u00a0displacement and asylum\u00a0<\/strong>into terms that young children can easily understand. A book that encourages kids to be welcoming and considerate, empowering them to be kind to all.<\/p>\n

Frances Lincoln Children's Books,<\/a> an imprint of Quarto publishes unique collections of amazing books.<\/p>\n

This really is a book that every home should have!<\/p>\n
