This warm, thoughtful and reassuring story is perfect for children about to move house or start new school, but has a universal message for any child about the importance of kindness and acceptance when meeting someone new.My New Home by bestselling author-illustrator, two times CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal nominee and BookTrust Time to Read favourite, Marta Altes, is a beautiful and uplifting story about moving house, making friends and finding a new home.

Since then she has seen her books translated into many different languages. My Grandpa won the Ezra Jack Keats New Illustrator Honour in the US and I Am An Artist! was longlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. She's also won the Read It Again!

Marta's pages are just a joy to scoot through, her characters beautifully childlike and endearing, and her colour palette to drool over (and perhaps even eat with a spoon). -- Tania McCartney * Kids' Book Review *
