"While the topic of moving is covered in a multitude of picture books,
this one looks at it from a difficult perspective that most authors
choose to avoid or gloss over." -- School Library Journal (starred
review)
Almost everything Callie's family owns is in their front yard -- their
furniture, their potted flowers, even Callie's bike. They can't stay in
this house and are moving to a smaller apartment where most of their
things won't fit, so today they are having a yard sale. With sensitivity
and grace, Eve Bunting and Lauren Castillo portray an event at once
familiar and difficult, making clear that a home isn't about what you
have, but whom you hold close.
