Our Picks: Children's Books on Moving

Sorry things have been a bit quiet on the blog lately! We just got back from our whirlwind house-hunting trip to Las Vegas. I meant to schedule a couple posts to publish while we were away, but that never happened. ;)  Anyhow, since we just got back from house-hunting, moving is at the forefront of my mind right now. So this post seemed pretty timely! :)

It is no secret that children's books hold a special place in my heart, and I'm a firm believer that one thing you can never have too much of is books. ;)  So we have quite the collection of children's books in our house, not to mention between the girls we hit the maximum number of book check-outs each week at the library. All of that to say, we're no experts but we know a good book when we see one!

I love the idea of using children's books to help facilitate conversations about difficult concepts for little ones, so in the weeks leading up to our last move we were on the hunt for some good books on moving! Our top two favorites from our last move were The Berenstain Bears Moving Day and Henry & Mudge and Annie's Good Move. We ordered them both off of Amazon, but you should be able to find them at your local library as well.

I've already set those two books aside to read to the girls again as our move gets closer, but I was on the hunt for a few new titles as well. See, I told you--there's no such thing as too many books! ;)  I found {THIS LIST} of books & thought it was a really good one! And it surprised me b/c two books we own & love were on there, but I totally didn't even think about them being "moving" books..even though they definitely are!

We first read this book only b/c it's by the same author that writes the Scaredy Squirrel series, which Shelby really enjoys. But this book is wondering in its own right!

If you're familiar with The Kissing Hand, this is part of that series.

I was disappointed b/c a lot of the books on {THIS LIST} that I was eager to try weren't available at our local library, but here are a couple new titles we were able to try that we enjoyed!

This is a great one if your kiddos enjoy the other Alexander books, I can't believe I never knew this particular book existed until we were on the hunt for more moving books!

The girls & I both loved this sweet story!

If you have any other moving books you'd recommend, I'd love to hear them!!
