From author and illustrator Tom Percival, creator of the bestselling Big Bright Feelings series: A magical, reassuring picture book about moving house, to soothe even the biggest worries.

Ivan's old house had always been so warm and friendly. This new one was NOT.

Ivan finds his new house strange and can't sleep. He lies awake and then sees a shimmering light come down. The light turns into a creature called a Moji, and it takes him on a fabulous night-time adventure, up high into space, bounding through starlit forests and down deep into the oceans. Ivan has never had so much fun! And the magical Moji shows him that soon the new house will feel like home.

A gently emotional story to reassure fears about moving house, with stunning artwork and a wonderful magical element. The author/illustrator of Herman's Letter has shown his breadth of talent with this new direction.
