Beschreibung

A child's imagination takes flight in this charming and poignant picture book. Wouldn't moving house be magical, if your house could move with you?When a boy is told that they are moving house, he envisions his house lifted by cranes, winding its way through narrow streets, and even sailing across the sea... But his mother helps him understand: even if they must leave their house behind, the two of them will still be on an adventure.

Rezensionen

Moving house can be hard to understand... This book does an important job in reassuring children who might be in the same position. Even though there are hundreds of books about managing stressful situations, We're Moving House fills an important gap in the market. The Bookseller
