Description Share Post Maud is Moving Viviane Schwarz (Walker Books) Maud is Moving. It seems the landlord is selling the house where Maud’s lived with Dad, the house with the garden and the fox that likes chips and snails. What will their new home be like? It seems it has a lighthouse beam, alongside cracks in the ceiling of Maud’s bedroom. Although she and Dad paint the walls of their new home, Maud’s happy to watch the maps on the ceiling cracks. However, what about finding friends? Maybe at the playground, or could the court of cats object? Then what about Gitta who waves from the balcony across the streets? Maud’s new house might not have its own garden, but she can see a lot from her balcony. Then again, it seems, when she and Dad need a new sofa, that they might meet the neighbours whose building they share. Award winning writer and illustrator Viviane Schwarz ventures into chapter book territory with Maud is Moving. Once again, she demonstrates the Peter Pan touch of magic and inspiration that make her picture books so special. Like Evelyn Del Rey is Moving Away, thereafter, we’ve compassion for Maud’s situation. Then again, we’re intrigued by her drawing, her discoveries and the brave steps she makes. Bookwagon is delighted by this tender, warm, magical story.
