Going Home

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A beautifully written and illustrated story of a mouse father and child on a day out, exploring connection and loss.

It’s good to know where things are going … and where other things have gone.

A father and child head out for the day – just what they feel like doing. They see beetles wandering past, snails sliding by, and bees and balloons flying above.

Where are they all going?

Going home, perhaps, says Dad.

A beautiful and quietly meaningful tale of life, loss and love.
