A picture book that captures the journey of a child, who lives alone with her father, as she comes to accept a new family. Katy lives a quiet life with just her father. Then one day, Mrs. Mary and her son Sean come to visit Katy's house. Before long, the two end up moving in and living together with Katy and her father. Unlike Katy, who feels uncomfortable with Mary and Sean freely crossing into her personal space, her father simply accepts it as natural. All of this feels strange and bewildering to Katy. Because of Katy's cold, dismissive attitude, Mary and Sean eventually leave the house. Katy feels a brief moment of relief, but soon finds herself feeling empty without them. This reveals that, even though Katy couldn't consciously accept them, she had already welcomed them into her heart as 'family.' In this picture book, the child simply has to go along with her parents' decisions. Divorce and the formation of a new family are matters entirely outside the child's control. Before building a new family, parents need to carefully consider whether their child might be carrying hidden wounds inside. In particular, the illustration of a small, expressionless child standing before an enormous, intimidating hand honestly reveals the psychologically withdrawn inner world of the child. The book also shows that while a child can come to accept a new family, she needs time to get there. Over illustrator Anthony Browne's signature surreal artwork, the dark and melancholic inner landscape of a child's heart unfolds quietly and honestly. A picture book that offers a rare glimpse into a child's psychology that parents may never have considered before.
