Lisa Brown, creator of the hugely popular The Airport Book and The Hospital Book, breaks down the big prospect of moving to a new home in this engaging picture book primer.
Moving can be sad and scary—but it doesn’t have to be. The kids in this book have done it many times before, as the older brother reminds his sister. They reflect on favorite memories from each of their past homes, and the boy talks her (and the reader) through all the steps to expect, from taping up boxes to riding in the car behind the moving truck.
Starring the same multiracial family from The Airport Book and The Hospital Book, and featuring plenty of “easter eggs” that will delight young readers, the book chronicles three distinct moves—from a small, overcrowded apartment in a rickety house to a proper urban apartment building to a house where there’s room for grandpa.
With clear, concise text and detail-rich illustrations, The Moving Book is the perfect resource for any family preparing for a move and managing anxiety about the process. Fans of Lisa Brown’s critically acclaimed past titles will instantly recognize their favorite tour guides to sort-of-scary new things.
