How the first page could read

On the kitchen table, your child spread out a big sheet of paper. It was the plan for the new bedroom. “Where could my bed go?” your child wondered. There was a window, a wall for pictures, and a corner that looked just right for quiet stories before sleep.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

For children who are picturing an unfamiliar room, this is a practical, gentle story about making a place their own before the boxes arrive. Your child is not asked to solve the whole move; the focus stays on small, visible choices: a bed by the window, books within reach and a first picture for the wall. Those details make a useful conversation starter while you look at photos, a floor plan or the room itself. Because the book stars your child, using one photo and the details you provide, the plan feels connected to their own move. Short, clear scenes suit shared reading with three- to seven-year-olds.

Reading it together

• Read it before visiting the new home, then let your child point to the parts of the plan they would like to choose.
• Pause at each room detail and ask what your child would keep nearby at bedtime.
• After moving, revisit the story and notice which parts of your child's plan have come true.

Suggested art style: Coloured pencil

Coloured pencil lines suit a child’s room plan, keeping the choices clear, warm and easy to look at together. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
