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.

Rezensionen
Relying on a pitch-perfect combination of minimal text and expansive artwork, Brown once more offers a richly vivid, honest, and reassuring depiction of a potentially unfamiliar experience. Her colorful, clean-lined cartoons are full of sweet vignettes each scene is practically a story in itself. . . . An impressively understated, respectful exploration of a big change.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

As always, there s plenty to take in, smile at, and relate to. . . . Lighthearted elements, especially regarding the unreliability of the brother s narration, mix with more poignant ones. Brown s mixed-media illustrations feature their usual clear colors, clean lines, and wealth of detail.
The Horn Book (starred review)

The tender ink, watercolor, and digital art neatly captures the emotions of a family navigating life s normal complexities. . . .The text and images play particularly well off each other. . . . An appealing family story, well-suited for both one-on-one and large-groupreadalouds.
School Library Journal

While clearly acknowledging that sometimes I don t want to move, the larger theme here is that homes are where we make memories some good and some bad and that moving holds the promise of making new ones, always with the people we love. An inviting and reassuring discussion starter for families preparing to pack up.
Booklist

Brown s storytelling sparkles with humor. . . .There s a deep sense of serendipitous detail in this multiracial family s journey: glimpses of cozy, crowded spaces convey a life in motion, full of both disruption and continuity. . . .Beneath the bustle and transitions, The Moving Book is a tender and funny meditation on memory, sibling dynamics and the meaning of home.
