From a military family, Esmerelda discovers that home is where she's always welcomed-thanks to music, dance, and the big, unconditional love from her extended family. An ideal picture book for kindergarteners and 1st graders who are moving, need reassurances during a transition, and could use the reminder that home is family. Papa's job in the military has taken Esmerelda and her family all over the world-and yet she's never lived in the United States. Now she and her family are moving to San Antonio, Texas. Although many of her extended family members live there, Esmerelda is unsure it'll feel like home. Even more, she's unsure she will fit in. Gradually, music and her sweet abuela spark bravery and the realization that home is not always a place-it's familia. Heartwarming and hopeful, Bienvenida a casa, Esmerelda will provide reassurance to any kid that while moving and change are difficult, you have the support of loved ones to help you through it.
