Children's Books About Moving

Move on up! For parents, a move is often the result of something positive — a new job or a new baby on the way — but for a kid, whether across town or across the country, a move can be a truly frightening experience. A first move, when tots are leaving the only home they have ever known, can be especially scary when all of the unknowns lead to anxiety. Books are often a great way to get the conversation started. These books are all about kids who also didn't want to move, how they got through it, and how they wound up happy in their new homes.
