HOME MOVES WITH ME
Story by Kathy Feedham Raggio Illustrations by Quinette Cook
Translation by Gabriella Aldeman
Sometimes a big move helps you discover your own special meaning of home.
In Home Moves With Me, a child moves to a new house with their family. Each step of the journey is a gentle reminder that home is more than a place. Home is family and the memories created along the way.
Told in lyrical prose, Home Moves With Me features mixed media illustrations that invite the reader to experience the story from the main character’s point of view. Details in the art—dragons, photo memories, a playful dog—offer readers fun and meaningful substories to discover.
