Boxes, Boxes Everywhere

I love this book. We are a military family and move quite often. I first purchased the book about four years ago. The perspective it takes to moving is a far different approachh than any other book I've encountered. It deals with the emotions and perceptions of a toddler who is moving but then brings those feelings around to Jesus. The book was developed by the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) program and it subtly gets your child to understand he/she can rely on Jesus during the move. He will understand. Boxes, Boxes, Everywhere is priceless and I'm sorry to see that you can only purchase it used now. My advise would be that if you can find it grab it. You won't regret it.

My children and I loved this book and read it when we went through our move. It is not comparing moving to Jesus' death, but to the fact that He left Heaven to come to a new home. It helps a child understand that he is not alone and that even Jesus had been through this tough change. That was actually my very favorite part of the book and brings tears to my eyes when I get to that part. I am buying this book for a friend that is moving - her children are having a tough time with it and I thought they would find it comforting, as my children did.

My son, daughter-in-law, and their 18-month old daughter were moving from a small apartment into their first house. I wanted to help my grand-daughter cope with the move so bought this book and a few others about families moving for her. My daughter-in-law told me this book was definitely her favorite and one she could relate to. Their apartment was filled with boxes and there are still quite a few unpacked in their new house. My grand-daughter still asks for the "box book" to be read to her.

This is an adorable book with a very sweet message. I enjoy all of Crystal's books.
