5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent preparation for kids unsure about moving,
By A Customer
This review is from: Goodbye, House (Hardcover)
especially good in recognizing fears and feelings about young movers -- worries about a new school and friends, keeping addresses of old friends and former teachers. My 9 year old still has the address of his kindergarten teacher if he wants to write her...

Help Yourself, Help Your Child,
By A Customer
This review is from: Goodbye, House (Hardcover)
We recently moved our family overseas. My son and I referenced "Goodbye House" almost daily to help ease the transition. The book provides areas for children to write and draw their memories of their old home, friends, favorite places, school, etc. It follows the move from beginning to end. In the back are stickers that we used to put on the boxes containing my son's belongings. When we arrived at our new home, he knew immediately which boxes were his and was excited to see that his things really did follow him across the ocean. The end portion of the book provides ideas for getting to know your new neighborhood. Also, there are spaces to draw and write in your impressions of your new house, new friends, new school, etc. I would highly recommend this book to anyone anticipating a move with a young child. It's a great way for them to feel involved when everything around them seems beyond their control.
