Rosa’s Room by Barbara Bottner, illustrated by Beth Spiegel 2004
Rosa and her mom are moving to a new house, and her empty bedroom emphasizes the loneliness she feels. Each day of the week she contributes special items to her room, but there is something (or someone) missing. She then meets and invites a new friend to enjoy the space with her. The happiness they share together is obvious in their exuberant faces.
The uncertainties of moving can cause stress, but there is great joy in making a place your own, and sharing it with someone special. Spiegel's illustrations are soft and comforting as Rosa eases into her new surroundings and her loneliness recedes.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
