Endorsements for “A New Home for Allie”:

 

“With lush illustrations and a heartfelt story, A Home for Allie is sure to ease the transitioning child. A wonderful tool for parents and caregivers. Kids and adults alike will savor each beautiful page.”

—Jocelyn Green,
author of Faith Deployed: Daily Encouragement for Military Wives

 

“Author Carrie Daws has given us a gift with A New Home for Allie. The characters are engaging and the illustrations beautiful. Moving to a new place can be difficult for children, especially those with a parent in the military. This book presents the process in a positive and encouraging manner. Definitely a book I’m adding to resources I recommend.”

—Edie Melson,
award-winning author of While My Soldier Serves, Prayers for Those with a Loved One in the
Military

 

“A New Home for Allie strikes a chord for constantly relocating military families and is a must-have for any child’s library! Allie works through the process of parting with old friends, embarks on a journey through unfamiliar lands, arrives at her new home with an open mind, and is rewarded with a new friendship. Though it sounds like a simple process, adjusting after a move is an immense emotional strain and impacts the whole family – especially little ones. Carrie Daws is able to capture the fears, concerns, and insecurities children face before and during a move, and offers an identifiable character for them to relate to during their transition. Allie’s acceptance, trust in her parents, and positive outlook are key components to her successful transition. And, if we could only have classrooms full of Maribelles to welcome newcomers, the world would truly be a better place!”

—Kellie Artis,
Director of Communications, MILLIE – Bringing Military Families Home

 

“As always, Joanie Bruce shows brilliant capability in this elegantly painted and beautifully rich pictoral story. A tale of a far away place with waterfalls, rivers that glisten, bursting and warm sunny skies, and gorgeous vistas, so very different from where most of us live. Yet her precious characters’ faces, with kind eyes, make this place feel somehow familiar. Joanie honored this deeply profound story with every paint stroke. All of it put together is….sublime.”

—Lindy Burnett
Award-winning Illustrator and Artist
