I Move A Lot and That's Okay
honor the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of military children.
This picture book follows a bright-eyed girl in a military family that moves across the world. She shows the reader that she can embrace a new environment, language, and a different culture. Leaving their home and settling in another is tough on all kids.
This is what military families go through when moving to a new station, far away from home in another city, state, or country. This adventure is filled with sadness, loss, acceptance, and hope.
By the end of the story, young readers will be chanting the theme of the book: "I move a lot and that's okay!".
While this book features a military child,
its message of resilience and hope are universal ones that help all children to overcome obstacles more easily.
