Finding home in the company of family

As the ice melts, Gertie’s yak family must leave their mountain for new pastures. Unsure whether home can travel with them, Gertie packs as many belongings as she can onto her sled—until she realizes she has overlooked her baby sister, Dotty. The move gives this picture-book story a concrete way to explore what matters during a change of home: possessions, or the people who make a place feel like home. It also brings family bonds and the search for community into a familiar transition for young children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering a move or another big change
  • Families seeking a picture-book conversation about home and belonging
  • Young readers who enjoy stories about animal families

Book overview

Featured on the TODAY Show!

This heartwarming follow-up to The Littlest Yak and The Littlest Yak and The New Arrival takes Gertie and her family to new pastures.


When the ice starts melting, it's time for the yaks to move on and find a new mountain. Gertie's mum tells her that home is about more than the things that you pack, but Gertie's not so sure. She tries to squash and squeeze everything they own onto her sled.

But, oh no! It seems she's left behind the most important thing of all . . . her baby sister, Dotty! All at once, the items she's packed for this trip don't matter much without Dotty, and Gertie realizes perhaps home isn't about the things you have after all.

From the award-winning team that created The Littlest Yak, this second companion book following The Littlest Yak and The New Arrival shows our charming protagonist in a new situation that will be familiar to most readers--whether they have moved homes themselves or simply desire a sense of community and support through big life changes. The Littlest Yak Home Is Where The Herd Is will reassure young readers that as long as your loved ones are around, the feeling of home will follow you anywhere.
