In their letters they share about their new life and school and the things they are learning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Families Who Have a Big Move Coming

This is a great resource for young kids to help with feelings of loneliness and isolation. This back and forth between friends works through all of the feelings that friends being separated by a move might go through, including jealousy when new friendships are formed (although it doesn't mention the word). The illustrations bring the story to life and help the reader visualize what's happening. Add this to your packing list!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for military children
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023

This book is a follow-up about the military girl whose parent was transferred to Italy and the letters and pictures the 2 girls sent to each other. The illustrations match the storyline very well. When children move with their parents to either another state or country, they need to know that even though they make new friends where they move to, they can still stay in touch with the friends they moved away from.

Moving away and starting over is something that’s becoming more and more common for children. This book not only addresses the important issue of leaving a best friend behind as well as the fear of fitting in, but it also demonstrates how letter-writing, staying in touch and showing interest in each other’s lives and providing updates can help ease the transition. I see this being helpful for many children!

This book is written in the form of letters. What a brilliant idea! It offers a vivid portrayal of the challenges faced not only by military families but also those who relocate frequently. Additionally, the illustrations are stunning! I’m currently teaching my teens to write emails. This book provides some relatable examples! I would strongly recommend the book to other teachers and parents.
