About This Book

Home Is Wherever I Go is a compassionate, reassuring story of a child facing the uncertainty of moving to a new home . . . again . . . and finding comfort in imagining what treasures she will bring.

Our Review

This moving story offers gentle support for young children facing the transition of relocating to a new house, addressing the uncertainty and emotional challenges of saying goodbye to familiar spaces. Through the eyes of a child who has moved before, the narrative validates feelings of displacement while providing a constructive coping strategyβ€”focusing on the personal treasures that travel with her. The story skillfully balances acknowledging the sadness of leaving with the hopeful anticipation of creating new memories, making it an excellent resource for families in transition. This picture book about moving delivers emotional intelligence and practical comfort through its relatable protagonist.

What distinguishes this relocation story is its emphasis on internal resilience rather than external circumstances, teaching children that home isn't a fixed location but something they carry within themselves. The narrative's compassionate approach makes it particularly valuable for military families, frequent movers, or any child experiencing geographical displacement from friends and familiar surroundings. Parents will appreciate how it transforms anxiety about change into a creative exercise in self-awareness and adaptability. The book ultimately leaves young readers with an empowering perspective that prepares them not just for this move, but for life's many transitions ahead.
