This touching story captures both the struggles and possibilities of blended families. The power of one child’s imagination is beautifully visualised on the pages as we see how he begins to embrace his new siblings.

When two families merge and move in together, a little boy finds an escape in his imagination.

On the day two families move into a new home to start their life together under one roof, an overwhelmed little boy takes refuge in a simple cardboard box. But it’s not just any box - it’s a pirate ship, or a castle, or a rocket shooting into outer space...the only limit is his imagination. Through creativity and play, the boy learns to share with his new siblings as they create fantastical worlds together.
