Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
A boy tells of the last few days before his family moves to a new home in a story that "may well provide reassurance for parents and children facing a relocation," according to PW. Ages 4-7.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2-- The time has come for an African-American family to move from their city apartment into a new home. Johnson invokes the feelings of children as she tells in their language a simple story of the ambivalence of leaving familiar surroundings. Illustrations capture the mood of the text in depicting all the joy, sorrow, anxiety, and hurry of a moving day. Johnson conveys all this with the same tenderness as found in her Tell Me a Story, Mama (1989), Do Like Kyla (1990) , and When I Am Old with You (1990, all Orchard). It's a book that's sure to reassure children in the same situation. --Barbara Osborne Williams, Queens Borough Public Library, Jamaica, NY
