Produktbeschreibung

Leaving home and traveling to a whole new place is overwhelming, so it's good to have a beloved toy who can help express how you feel. Ella's best friend, Monkey, doesn't like good-bye hugs. He doesn't want to say good-bye to Oma. And he doesn't want to move away forever. Neither does Ella. But Papa is waiting for them in New York. So Ella and Monkey must board the ship with Mama and leave their old home in Holland for their new home in America. Along the way, there is fish for dinner (Monkey hates fish), a playroom full of new kids (Monkey doesn't like strangers), and stormy seas that leave everyone feeling sick. Can Ella and Monkey find a way to weather the storm? Will they ever feel at home again? This sweetly illustrated picture book will appeal to anyone who has left home behind — and to children who find creative ways to share their emotions.
