I greatly detest moving. Packing stuff. Unpacking stuff. Making sure you are organized. It isn't too bad if it is just you, but when you add a husband and children into the mix... utter horribleness.
In our first 5 years of marriage we moved 4 times! Blah. Our last move was almost three years ago when we bought our house. I hope we don't have to have another move for a very long time.
Moving can be exciting. I loved moving to university, breaking out on my own. I liked moving into our first apartment and setting up house. The type of moving I like now is when we move the junk we have collected out of our house.
What do you think of moving?
Synopsis
This is a sequel to the book I know Here. A little girls moves from Saskatchewan to Toronto. She reflects on the differences between the new places.
My Thoughts
I didn't read the first book, but I think I will. It is a great book that kids who have moved or changed schools can identify with. It is hard to move to a new place. Change is never easy. The author explores changes not merely in location but in the family dynamic as well. I like how she shows that even if the change is hard, good things can be found anywhere, as, in the end the little girl went biking with a friend she had met.
I like how the illustrator blended the pictures together. I liked how he placed elements of the "there" pictures into the "here" pictures.
This is a great book that shows there are good things to be found no matter where you live. Moving is hard, but it will all be okay.
