About This Book
One of Keats's best-loved characters, Louie, stars in this poignant story about the loneliness of moving to a new place. Homesick for his old neighborhood, Louie finds a way to return?by making a shoe box model of where he used to live, and pretending he is inside it. But soon, Louie will discover that he doesn't need to use his imagination to find friends; in fact, they may be as close as his new front door.About the Authors or Illustrators

It won the Caldecott Medal.
