In this fourth and final book in the beloved Stella picture book series, Stella and Roger reflect on their favorite things about living in Chicago and try to devise a plan to stop an impending out-of-state move.

Stella and Roger face their scariest challenge yet when Stella’s parents announce they’re moving—and not just out of Chicago, but to a whole new state! Stella doesn’t want to move away from her favorite park or any of the other things she loves about the only home she’s ever known. Stella and Roger begin a campaign to convince Stella’s parents that leaving Chicago is a big mistake. But is this change really as scary as they think?

Stella and Roger Are on the Move is a great choice for readers who are going through the moving process. Stella is not at all happy to learn that her family will be moving out of state. The story captures her nostalgia for where she has always lived in the unabashed, truthful way that kids see the world like home, smelling like dust and banana bread. She tries to convince her parents that she can just live there while they move, but when they don’t agree, she discovers that her new place can also feel like home. This story captures the humor and literal way children react to life changes and the process of her coming to terms with the move. Overall, this story is reassuring with a touch of lightheartedness. This is the fourth book in the Stella and Roger storyline, but you would not need to have read the other books for this book to make sense and be enjoyable.
