Havenwood

 

Havenwood is a sweetly illustrated story for young readers by L.L.H. Harms, illustrated by Aaron Zonka. Released 2nd April 2026, it's 46 pages and is available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook formats. 

This is such a kind and supportive tale for youngsters dealing with unwanted change in their lives. The text is accessible, written in simple direct language, suitable for young readers. The illustrations are nicely rendered and support the story well. 

It's a short book, but does a good job comforting the boy whose sister is moving away to continue her education. It's an interesting choice that he's called "the boy" in the text, possibly making it easier for readers to set themselves in the story. 

Four stars. It would be a good choice for school or home library acquisition, or for gifting to a young friend who is maybe struggling with change. Potentially also appropriate for professional healthcare settings.
