Guide Review - Boomer's Big Day - Ages 4 to 8
Moving is difficult to explain to young children, especially the possible emotions they might experience when saying goodbye to a family home, friends and possibly loved ones. Through the eyes of Boomer, the reader experiences and comes to understand that while moving is difficult, scary and a little overwhelming, in the end, it can be exciting with new friends and new experiences just around the corner.
A highly-recommended read for children, even as young as two or three will thoroughly enjoy this tale.
