Moving away from home, friends, and familiar places can be difficult. Relocation causes anxiety, feelings of being out of place, concerns about not fitting in, and worries about losing touch with friends. This book thoughtfully addresses concerns and offers advice for coping with new and unfamiliar people and places. Examples of how other children have overcome relocation challenges are presented through personal letters and stories.
