When a little boy learns that his family will be moving house, he’s excited because he thinks that their house will be hoisted up by cranes and moved to the new location.  He becomes fretful when he learns that he is moving to a new house but his old house is not moving with him. Then he realizes that all his special things will be moving with him so he is not so anxious. While the child’s anxiety about moving is relatable, the emotional resolution seems rushed. Still with the whimsical depiction of moving the house,  author Mick Jackson and illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh have created an imaginative and touching story that will be a valuable resource for parents and young children who will be facing a move to a new house.
