Valérie's childhood teddy bear is one of the principal characters in her first book.
Following on from the success of her first book, B at Home, local author, Valérie Besanceney, has just published a second book on the same theme of moving home.
Called My Moving Booklet, the new 80-page paperback is designed to help children through the initial stages of an upcoming move. Whilst moving can be exciting, it can also be terrifying at the same time. On the one hand, it can be very sad to say goodbye, but on the other it can also be incredibly fun to experience new things and meet new people. Everybody experiences a move differently, but it is very important to say goodbye properly.
Valérie told knowitall.ch, “This booklet allows children to truly welcome the new challenges and adventures that lie ahead of them, together with their parents and teachers. In many parts of the booklet, I have given them the opportunity to either write about it, to draw a picture, or to glue on a photograph. This is their own unique story that one day will serve as a keepsake of a life-changing event.”

If you have a young child, the chances are that you will have experienced that worrying feeling when you leave your child in the care of someone else, even if that person is a qualified childcare professional, trained to look after children.
Whether you are looking for a permanent solution that will enable you to grab a few hours to yourself at the same time each week, or you just need a drop-in center where you can leave your child from time to time, it can be difficult to find childcare that matches all your needs. High quality, flexible daycare provided by experienced and professional personnel is simply not as easy to find as you may think - and compromise is just not an option!
