Goodbye House Book

Americans are on the move and moving is hard on everyone--especially kids. First published in 1980, Goodbye, House is a must-have, hands-on guide and activity book designed to help kids handle moving to a new home. Completely revised, updated, and freshly illustrated by True Kelley, it's packed with helpful tips and fun activities for organizing the move, expressing feelings, getting adjusted in a new house, and managing the jitters on the first day of a new school. Some sure-fire ideas for coping include: keeping special memories of the old place, making self-addressed postcards to ensure hearing from friends, burying secret treasure in the old yard, and drawing maps to help get acquainted with the new neighborhood. Updated for a new generation of movers, Goodbye, House contains colorful stickers for kids to label their moving cartons and a even special guide to help parents cope with this stressful life event.Read More
