This book put into words how my children feel. It's not always easy being a military child, this book helps explain the pcs move in a way that both children and parents can relate too. I read this book with my children and as we read they related their personal experiences along with the story. This story is very real and relatable. If your having a hard time explaining how it feels to be a miltary child , and all the challenges that come with it, this lovely well written story will help. The illustrations are also amazing . This book will be read again and again. 😀

A wonderful story for military families preparing for PCS with children. This book emphasizes the importance of talking about the emotions and unknowns that are associated with these big moves. This book does a great job to encourage children to talk about their feelings and fears, and also reminds them that they are not alone in the adventure that is PCS. Love the incorporation of the dandelion metaphor.

Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2021
This book is a great concept for bringing to light many of the struggles our military children face. Love that the author was able to incorporate the dandelion club, as military children are often referred to as dandelions due to their ability to take root and bloom anywhere they are planted.

This such an important book for children in military families going through a PCS. But it's also a great story for anyone of any age going through a change in their lives. It reminds all of us that if we look for the good in any situation, positive things will bloom. Thank you Brooke.

Our whole family loves this sweet book! Experienced military children who’ve pcs’d before will easily relate to it and it’s great at explaining what will happen and preparing those children who haven’t pcs’d before. It’s also a great book for children who aren’t in the military, as they can better understand what moving is like for their friends who are.
