The simple text and heartwarming pictures charmingly depict Boomer’s confusion, anxiety, concern, and ultimate delight on this day familiar to all: moving day. “Humorously sympathizing with the tribulations of moving, this endearing picture book will soothe the anxieties of children facing a move.” —Booklist
