Such a wonderful book exploring building a house through the eyes of a child. Love that it touches base on the timeline. Adorable illustrations. Love the look and find at the end as well as the exploratory questions to encourage children in designing their own home.

What a fantastic book for children about the process of building a new home.
It takes children through step by step with short, easy to read phrases. So it is a wonderful storybook with fun pictures, but helps explain what is happening.
Moving, and especially building a new house can be such an abstract idea for young children, especially if they can only remember having one home. This book would be a great tool for families going through this process with young children!
Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for allowing me to read and review this book.

I was a preschool teacher for five years, and I wish I had this book of Megan Sabens. She wrote the most beautiful words and created such a darling childresns book! It was adorable. My four kids and I cherished every minute of it. Well done!

As a realtor, this would be such a fun "congrats" gift to give to clients who are moving and have kids. Very fun and cute read.

What a great book for littles to learn about a new home being built and the changes it brings.

This is the perfect book for families planning a move and a new twist on a construction book for kids who love building things! Megan Saben and Liz and Kate Pope capture the excitement and worry about this big life change, while also giving us a fun book about construction and a parallel story with kids and workers creating this new home. The activities in the back are also lots of fun!
Received an ARC from NetGalley.

'New House, New Home' fits the bill for helping children acclimate to the dramatic change of moving into a new home. The pastel hued, welcoming illustrations bring some exploration into the process of creating a new home in all of its complexities. There's so much fun to have when entering a new space and I think that this book will allow kids a better chance at doing so in a positive light.
