Purchase options and add-ons

A sweet sibling story about one fed-up big sister who wants to find a space of her own, perfect for fans of Ashley Spires's The Most Magnificent Thing.

Mia loved her big, bright room . . . until she had to share it with her new brother. With Brandon's toys, books, and even underwear taking up space, Mia has finally had it. "I'm moving out!" There are lots of new and interesting spaces she could settle into--the bathroom, the basement, even a pillow fort. But something is always missing. What could it be? Tackling the oh-so-relatable topic of finding a space of one's own, Mia will inspire siblings everywhere to work together as a team. Because sometimes the best place of all is a shared one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and tender

I love this story about adoption that doesn't use adoption as the point around which it turns. Mia is adopted into a new home and makes it her own. But then another sibling shows up. At first it's fun, and then it's not. So Mia announces she's going to move out. I LOVE her parents' understated and real response: "Better take a friend." So first she moves into the bathroom (love it!), but that doesn't work out. She tries other places that are equally problematic. When she finally realizes that life is bit lonely when you don't have your sibling to share it with, the tables get turned. But yes, things turn out just perfect in the twist of an ending, so I won't spoil it by telling you what happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely sibling story
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018
Mia Moves Out is a sweet sibling/family problem solving story for young children. I really like stories that focus on true-to-life sibling problems and are very relatable to kids. No one flies to the moon or converses with unicorns. Don't get me wrong, those kinds of larger-than-life stories are wonderful, too. But sometimes I think there's a shortage of picture books about real kids living in real families solving real-world problems. As a parent, I felt that Miranda Paul captured perfectly that moment when the "honeymoon phase" of having a new baby is over, and suddenly the baby becomes an active toddler and starts messing with the older sibling's stuff - a frustration many older siblings and families have faced, including mine. I also love that this book shows an adoptive/foster family situation without making that central to the story (it's clear from the first page that when Mia "moved in" with this family she was already a young child, not a baby). It's so important for kids to be able to see themselves and their own family configurations in books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much Love for Mia!
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018
Mia Moves Out is a heartwarming (and humorous) story that is extremely relatable for kids (sharing a room is a big deal!). When her baby brother arrives, Mia is forced to share her space. As her brother grows, the room becomes messier and messier until Mia can't take it anymore and moves out. The book has many sweet moments and funny ones as well (love when she moves into the bathroom and her mom asks her for wart remover!). I enjoyed each page of the book (including the adorable illustrations), and I especially loved the clever resolution at the end. Overall, Mia Moves Out will tug at your heartstrings, make you laugh and is well worth the read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Story. A sweet message.
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018
Mia Moves Out is a sweet book about a little girl working through the changes of her new adopted brother's arrival. In her search to find a space of her own, she learns that sometimes the best place is one that you share with someone you love. I really appreciate how Paul includes the topic of adoption without making this book about adoption - she is always great at that. And I liked that Mia worked through her issues herself. Go Mia! There are some really silly moments (like when she moves into the bathroom) in the book that my daughter liked and some very sweet moments too. The illustrations are a perfect compliment to Paul's heartwarming story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about sharing space with a sibling
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2019
Mia's life changes for the better when little brother Brandon arrives. But soon belongings take over their shared bedroom. And Mia decides she's moving out. She searches the house high and low for a quiet retreat but can't find a just-right place. In the end, she finds a space that's just perfect... for two. This well-crafted story is fun to read aloud and provides a playful, lighthearted look at the game-changing experience of sharing life with a sibling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharing a room is not easy!
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018
Mia is so happy in her bright, fun room, until her little brother arrives and she has to share! At first, sharing a room is fine until it gets messy and loud! As Mia decides to move out, we follow her in the quest for a new place of her own. This book is great for kids who are dealing with new siblings and who also are trying to find their place in the new family dinamic. The illustrations are sweet and bright and it's a great read aloud.
