Emma is only ten years old, but has already moved twice. Now, her
parents are telling her the family is moving again. She's furious, sad,
nervous, and a little excited, all at the same time. Unsure of how to
tackle these conflicting emotions, she turns to B, her faithful teddy
bear. While trying to come to terms with the challenges of another move,
what Emma really wants is just to 'be at home'. As the journeys of Emma
and B unfold, home changes once again, but home also begins to take on a
new meaning that Emma can take with her wherever she goes. "In this
delightful book you have the solution for how to translate what we, as
adults, know about the TCK experience, into language and concepts that
children who grow up globally can relate to. This book offers clear
strategies for parents, educators, others who work with TCKs, and the
TCKs themselves, on practical ways to translate theory into practices to
help children navigate the chronic cycles of separation inherent in a
TCK's childhood." Ruth E. Van Reken, Co-author, Third Culture Kids:

for parents, teachers and organizations that support global nomads.
Adults who work with families in global transition will find it added to
their 'go to shelf'. Tidbits such as ' ... home will never ever be one
place. It will be constantly moving. Like the waves, like the beads in
the kaleidoscope' has made this one of my favorite books!" Julia Simens,

will help children and their parents (and stuffed animals!) with any
transition or move. "Dr Lisa Pittman, Co-author, Expat Teens Talk
