Moving to a new town can make any kid double-check who they're supposed to be. Finding Your North Star captures that quiet friction when Vincent moves to the coast and starts sacrificing his real interests—like protecting ocean life—just to land a spot in the local kid hierarchy.

It's a straightforward, comforting picture book that uses Vincent's dog Compass and local wildlife to remind him to stick to his own values. If you have a child who is prone to shape-shifting around new peers or struggling with a relocation, this is a soft, non-preachy way to open up that topic.
