Joanie's House Becomes a Home

Sometimes, people need to move to a new home. Moving can be exciting.But it can make you homesick, too.

Let's meet Joanie Chen. She is eight years old.She is packing. Her family is moving to a new city in two days.

Packing Up

Joanie and her Mom are packing.But Joanie doesn't want to move.

"All my things are here. So are my school and my friends," Joanie says.

"You'll make new friends," Mrs. Chen says."And you'll like the new school.We are taking all your things.That way, you'll feel right at home."

The Chens are saying farewell to their old house in San Francisco, California.They are ready to go.First, they packed all their things into boxes.Now, moving men load the boxes and the furniture into the truck.They empty the entire house.

Sometimes people move very far.The Chens are moving all the way from San Francisco, California, to Boston, Massachusetts.That's a move from one side of the United States to the other!

Moving men will drive the truck from California to Massachusetts,right up to the driveway of the Chen's new home.But the Chens are at the airport. They're taking a plane.

"I can't wait to see our new home!" says Jimmy. "I can," says Joanie.
