Read All About It

Our association's children's book, written as a school project by students at Springfield Ball Charter Elementary School, Springfield, Illinois, and published by WeWrite Corporation is a great book for kids who are moving!

Follow the adventures of The Pencil Family as they move from Jupiter to Earth. "We're Moving!" was written to help children understand that moving to a new home can be a fun adventure ... and help alleviate some of the trauma caused by this major life change. In addition to a delightful story appropriate for elementary school aged children and younger, "We're Moving!" also includes practical advice about moving for Mom and Dad. It's a terrific permanent addition to any library.

This fun and helpful book is available from IMAWA.

The "We're Moving!" project was financially sponsored by independent members of the moving industry as a benefit for children and to provide factual and unbiased information about moving. The book does not endorse any particular moving companies.

"Moving can be very traumatic for young children. This book is a wonderful way to help those young minds understand what is happening and may help turn fears into an adventure. I'm proud to be involved in such an exciting new educational endeavor, and pleased that the Association had the vision to be a pioneer in this new concept."

"Little people's creative minds never stop learning. BOOKS BY KIDS--FOR KIDS! is an experience for little people to educate, prepare, and share with other children what they see through their own eyes and what they feel in their hearts. It's life's experiences happening in the real world. A child's learning ability is never ending. What a wonderful program for creative minds--exploring imagination and taking it to the highest level. This particular book tells how children feel when it is necessary for a family to relocate. And it also teaches them, at an early age, that change is inevitable."
