This list of top book picks to help kids adjust to moving was sent to me by Flat Rate moving, a nationwide leader in moving and storage. We always use books to help us discuss what’s happening – good or bad so I was excited to see a list to help kids who are facing the challenge of a big move.

Our move was local but included a school change and even now I can remember the nerves, fear, and excitement of this life change.
