A move from one coast to another stirs up plenty of emotion for a young child. Callie sits by a palm tree with the family dog and watches as furniture and boxes are piled into a bright yellow moving van. "Goodbye, house." Tears dot Callie's brown face and brown hair as goodbyes are exchanged with friends. The family arrives in a new neighborhood, near a different ocean. Page after page of brightly colored images with clean outlines float past readers' eyes. The words "same" or "new" label every item readers spot in Callie's new world, crystalizing the mixture of emotion a move brings. "New bathroom. / Same towel." The hardest part for the only child is nighttime, with new shadows and new sounds. Smith captures the kernel of truth that it's family that makes a home, showing the comfort of the same kisses and hugs from Mama and Papa. Callie is a sweet mix of the two, with the hairstyle of darker-skinned Mama and the lighter skin tone of spiky-haired Papa. Through the skilled pacing, simple wording, and bright images, readers will sense the whirlwind of feelings in Callie's new world while anchored in the security of a loving family. A simple capture of the complex emotions of moving that will resonate with many. (Picture book. 4-8) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
