The return of one of our most huggable picture book stars and her hugely relatable family. As always, the joy is in the thoughtful detail, from the stars threaded through Lulu's hair puffs, to the family cat's own journey, to the spotty moving stickers which find themselves scattered across every surface! Everything the Beardshaw/McQuinn partnership executes is forever charming"
– Dr. Fen Coles, Letterbox Library
We’ve just moved into a new home this summer, so this latest addition to the Lulu series couldn’t have come at a better time! 🏡💫
In the story, Lulu’s family is moving too, making room for a new baby on the way! With coloured stickers, clever planning, and Lulu in charge of organising, it’s a fun and gentle guide through big changes. A very calming read for little ones facing moves, new siblings, or any kind of transition. – EYFS Books and Things
This gentle and cheerful picture book follows Lulu as her family prepares for two big changes: moving to a new house and welcoming a new baby. Author and illustrator combine warm, inviting text with bright, comforting illustrations to guide young readers through what could otherwise be a stressful experience.

Lulu’s mummy comes up with a clever plan to use coloured stickers to organise all the family’s belongings for the move. This transforms packing from a daunting chore into a playful, engaging activity Lulu can take part in, giving her a sense of agency in a situation she can’t fully control.

The tone is soothing, with an emphasis on teamwork, problem-solving, and looking forward to new adventures rather than the fear of change.

Ideal for Nursery and preschool storytimes about home and family. Young children experiencing a move or family changes and Parents looking for a gentle conversation starter about transitions.

A sweet, reassuring read that makes a big life change feel manageable and even exciting. Perfect for bedtime or a calm moment amid the chaos of moving day.
I would highly recommend!. – Early years with Liane
