A young boy’s parents tell him at dinner that the family will be moving to a new city in a new country for a new job. His parents try to get him excited by explaining all the neat things about their new home. The whole idea is so scary, the young boy wakes at night with scary dreams. The long drive to their new city is both tiring and fun. Their new home in their new city feels so different to the boy. A good sleep, a stuffie hug, and the next morning looks brighter. Standing on the balcony, the boy is ready for new adventures and greets the world with, “Hello Houston”.

Many titles about immigration focus on movement due to economic, social, or political hardship. This is a lighter story that highlights the decision to move for a new job. Highly recommended for all libraries, especially those that serve immigrant communities.
