I love the lesson itself of they can still be friends even when making new ones. I also really like the back and forth of the letter format from friends and learning about Italy.

"I fell in love with this book the moment I saw the title. As a military brat, moving a lot is what my childhood was about. This book deals with all of the aspects of moving in way that kids and families will relate to. I wish it was around when I was small."

I liked how you include both sharing about past memories and new ones they were making. I also liked towards the beginning the statement about being lonely in a crowded place. That’s a great talk point.

Moving can be hard, especially for kids! Two friends stay in touch through letters. Love the positive and reassuring message of story— that’s it’s okay to start over in a new place. You can make new friends, while keeping in touch with your old friends. ❤️
