Toby moves to a big city with his family. Toby feels sad and misses all the things he used to do in his garden, especially seeing the stars before bedtime. His parents try to help by making him stars, but Toby is still upset. That night, Toby has a magical dream where he meets a lion who is lost in the City and looking for the North Star to guide it home. Toby offers to help, and they embark on a journey. On the way they meet other lost animals who are also frightened by the city.
A Home Under the Stars explores the difficulties and anxieties that accompany moving. I felt it was a magical way to explain the journey of belonging in a new place. The illustrations were interesting, engaging and fanciful. I enjoyed this heartfelt book.
