As Rosy describes the trauma of moving to a new home, watercolor and India ink illustrations shroud each page with gloomy grays and spooky, oversized shapes. Warmer hues surround Rosy when she finds a pet rabbit and meets Nancy, a new friend. The simple text and expressive illustrations convey the fears and anxieties a child may experience when leaving friends and familiar places.
