The story
Read it aloud together, one card at a time. Point to the pictures and let your child read the last card.
Soon my family will live in a new home. Lots of families move to a new home.
We put our things in boxes. My special things come with us.
My bed, my toys and my family all come to the new home.
On moving day, a big van takes our boxes. A grown-up I know looks after me.
The new home has new rooms and a new street. It might look different at first.
I can help choose where things go in my new bedroom.
On the first night, I sleep in my own bed with my own blanket.
I can say goodbye to our old home. I can still keep in touch with friends.
I might feel excited, sad or both. Little by little, the new home can start to feel like mine.
My calm plan
Pick one or two before the day, and practise them at home.
- 🧸 My special box
- 📸 Look at photos
