Illustrated by
Christopher Denise.
Bella is nervous about moving. Her stuffed-animal elephant, Stella, after growing into a life-sized imaginary friend, provides companionship and comfort as Bella explores the new place; things like the bathtub with feet remind Stella (and in turn Bella) that home has changed but there's lots to discover. Soft-focus pastel-hued illustrations reinforce the homeyness in this familiar and reassuring story.
