A child’s imagination takes flight in this charming and poignant picture book by the Booker-shortlisted author Mick Jackson and award-winning artist Rashin Kheiriyeh.

Selected for the 2025 Bologna Ragazzi Award's Amazing Bookshelf.

Wouldn’t moving house be magical, if your house could move with you?

When a boy is told that they are moving house, he envisions his house lifted by cranes, winding its way through narrow streets, and even sailing across the sea… But his mother helps him understand: even if they must leave their house behind, the two of them will still be on an adventure.

"Moving house can be hard to understand… This book does an important job in reassuring children who might be in the same position. Even though there are hundreds of books about managing stressful situations, We’re Moving House fills an important gap in the market." - The Bookseller

"…ideas are playfully captured in RashinKheiriyeh’s detailed scenes… With the wealth of transportation imagined by the boy, youngsters with an interest in vehicles especially, will love the visuals, even if a house move isn’t imminent." - Books for Keeps

"Helpful to any parent wanting to explain to small children about a move – especially as it ends on a really positive note. But also any child fascinated by cranes, boats, lorries and helicopters will have their imagination piqued. Mick Jackson, nominated for the Booker Prize for adult novel The Underground Man, can clearly write for small children too." - NewsChain
