When a family move is afoot, it is important for the children to be prepared and supported or they can struggle to cope with the experience. Leaving friends and familiar places can unsettle or make a child feel insecure, and it is particularly difficult if the move involves changing schools. 'Why are we moving home?' is for 5 - 9 year olds who are about to move home or who have recently moved. The magical story captures a young listener's imagination using a unique blend of entertainment, reassurance and education which helps them understand and enjoy their move.

Teachers with measles, no pizza deliveries and Swamp Ogre's smelly feet force Mr and Mrs Sox to move home. But swapping a castle in the Enchanted Forest for a house in the leafy suburbs of Broomchester isn't going to be easy for their children! Zak and Jack can't bear the thought of leaving their school and all their friends behind, and Ruby thinks they are going on a holiday... A family of magicians, Formula 33 and a giant Moveasaurus make this magical story a must for children who are moving home.

"Moving home can be stressful for children too. This story will reassure and help them with the experience".
The Family Education Trust

"The why are we moving home had an immediate impact on my son and we had our first truly peaceful weekend since we moved nearly three months ago. He recognised his situation exactly in the story and really wanted to share it with us."
Sue WS - Motherwise

"Well done for explaining the huge event of moving house in such a magical way".
Carol Smillie Television presenter and mother

"…It also looks at the problems children face leaving their school, with ideas helpful to any child, encouraging them to look forward to making new friends, and writing letters to old ones. There are some useful hints…"
