Yard Sale

Eve Bunting's 'Yard Sale' tenderly explores the emotional experience of moving and downsizing through the eyes of young Callie. As her family holds a yard sale, Callie grapples with the sadness of parting with beloved possessions and leaving her home, all to move to a 'small but nice' apartment in the city. The story gently addresses the underlying financial hardship without explicitly stating it, focusing instead on Callie's feelings of loss and her family's resilience. It's a poignant and hopeful read for children aged 4-8, perfect for opening conversations about change, adaptation, and the enduring strength of family bonds.
