Review:

Can you lose things in a tiny home? That’s what Sissy is wondering when they have to move from their big spacious home into a tiny home on wheels.

Sissy’s parents have a big surprise! They are planning on making some changes in their lives. They want to explore and live a life that is minimal in space and belongings. Sissy loves their big house and yard. She loves the tall trees and her big soft bed. She will have to make some big adjustments in order to go to a smaller space. Friends who have gone tiny share with her how to repurpose some of her things. As she begins to purge her toys and clothes, she starts to feel better when she realizes that other kids in need will enjoy them as much as she has. When the new tiny home arrives, Sissy is surprised. Will she love her family’s new home and look forward to their adventures?

Authors Rebecca Flansburg and Ba Norrgard have created a delightful story of an ever-growing lifestyle in tiny homes. Young readers will be engaged and find delight in the colorful illustrations. Beginner readers will find the sentence structure easy to navigate. Parents and teachers can discuss with young listeners how tiny homes have helped families and veterans begin a new life with minimal cost. They can also discuss how kids could adapt to living tiny.
