A Moving Story

About the Book

From the New York Times bestselling duo of Stick and Stone, Beth Ferry and Tom Lichtenheld, with illustrations by Tom Booth: A sweet and uplifting story about trying, failing, and never-ending kindness.

With the utmost care, brothers and professional movers Tiny and Pete will move anything anywhere because they know that nothing is too small or too light to wrap up tight and treat just right. But during their biggest move yet, a young panda’s pet turtle goes missing and even the brothers’ efforts might not be enough to save the day.

Full of fun word play and humor, this hopeful and empowering story is sure to move readers to feel big feelings and, most importantly, laugh. Perfect for fans of Ryan T. Higgins and Jory John.
