This book is so touching. It really makes you really think about the meaning of home. I loved this book because it's about a mouse who gets lost and tries to find home. This book reminded me of when I moved.

Beautifully illustrated with hundreds of black-and-white drawings, A Nest for Celeste is a short novel that tells the story a mouse living in the 1800s and his friendship with John James Audubon’s young apprentice. While enjoying this sweet amd appealing story, young readers will also learn about nineteenth-century plantation life and the famous naturalist who was known for his paintings of birds and American wildlife.
