★ "Soft, warm hues fill each page, underscoring the warmth of a family that is big enough to welcome 'more us' while also honoring Uncle Gray's agency. A sensitive and powerful look at a complex topic. Recommended for all collections." -- School Library Journal (SLJ), starred review
The day has come--Uncle Gray is finally moving in!
His nephew stands waiting for him out on the porch, and when Uncle Gray arrives, the boy is surprised his uncle only has one little backpack. Uncle Gray has been living on the streets for years, and the boy remembers how he and his mom used to go driving to look for him, especially during the winter. Sometimes they'd find him in his tent, with ice in his beard. He was always glad to see them. Now that Uncle Gray is ready to move in, he'll have his own cozy room, and the boy is glad to know they won't have to go looking to check if he's okay. Because he'll be right downstairs.
This gentle and compassionate story about an unhoused family member is based on the author's family experience and is a follow-up to the story told in The One with the Scraggly Beard. Also available in French as Plus de nous.
