"A Richard Jackson book"--Jacket.

On the leaving morning, a child watches for the moving men, has a cup of cocoa in the deli across the street, and leaves lip marks on the window of the apartment before departing for the new home. Leaving a place can be long when, days before, you've already said good-bye to everyone you know your friends, the grocer, your cousins, "especially your cousins." Then finally the day comes, and leaving is hard. Words and pictures catch exactly the mixture of excitement and wistfulness that "good-bye" can mean for young children.

Preschool picture book.
