A little girl and her family are moving to find a new home. The little girl brings her dog, Antonia, along. need to cross the river in a boat. Antonia goes with them, but is lost in some brush after the river crossing. They are not able to find Antonia and need to keep going. In a great show of support and friendship another traveler lets his bird out of the cage.

The illustrations are cute and whimsical in this wordless picture books. Children might enjoy looking at the pictures and telling the story in their own words. If children have had to move with their parents a lot this book might help them understand that many other people, all over the world, also leave their homes and move to a new place.
