"Home isn't just a place—it's the community we create."
Moving to a new house, a new city, or even a new country can be an overwhelming journey for a child. In Moving, author and illustrator Eugenia Mello draws from her own nomadic childhood to create a story that is as comforting as it is visually stunning.
The story follows a young girl who feels the weight of loneliness that often comes with a new environment. However, as she begins to explore her new surroundings, she discovers that art, dance, and music are universal languages. Through her creativity, she finds a "family" within her new community, proving that even in the midst of constant change, we can find a place where we belong.
With a simple yet compelling narrative and breathtaking illustrations, Moving is a gentle reminder that while saying goodbye is hard, saying hello to a new community can be a beautiful adventure.
