When his family moved away, Walter the House, was sad and lonely and grumpy. So grumpy, that when a new family moved in, Walter didn’t want them around at all. Hiss efforts didn’t work – in fact it helped the little girl realize that Walter was missing someone just like she was. 

The anthropomorphized house that misses its people may be a salve to small people who are missing others from their lives.
