My Window Here is a children’s book about relocation and the inner world of a child whose life has been abruptly transformed. Placed in a new environment - new language, unfamiliar landscapes, different people - the character loses her sense of belonging and struggles to find her voice. The book moves between two locations: the place that was left behind and the place that is still becoming. In between, it lingers in moments of packing, transition, and the intimate, shifting life between a mother and daughter. The book explores themes of displacement, migration and the quiet process of re-orienting oneself, where home is no longer a fixed place, but something that is continuously reassembled.
