Illustrated by
Helen Craig.
Amy brings some sustaining talismans from home on an overnight stay at Grandma's. When homesickness hits, she discovers that her belongings have taken on magical powers; her bedside mat, for example, becomes a flying carpet that whisks her home for a reassuring glimpse of her family. Pearce and Craig pack a lot of emotion and truth into this gentle story.
