We're Moving House

Any young child anticipating a move will connect with—and smile at—this fanciful, warmly humorous picture book debut from a literary author and an award-winning illustrator. When a little boy learns that his family will be moving house, he’s curious and excited. What else could that mean but having their house hoisted up by cranes and moved from one location to another? He imagines his wonderful house winding its way through narrow streets, maybe even sailing down the river—and himself traveling with it, waving to everyone as they pass. But when it turns out he’ll actually be saying goodbye to his first-ever home, with its familiar nooks and hideaways, he’s suddenly not so sure. Maybe if he can bring all his special things—and has his family around him—the move will still be an adventure? With whimsy and nuance, author Mick Jackson and illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh explore a potentially fraught childhood passage in this delightful, touching story that will serve as a valuable resource for parents and young ones alike.
