He’s just gotten used to going to school and now he’s moving. He liked his kindergarten teacher! She’s really nice! What if the next one isn’t as nice? What if the kids in his class aren’t friendly and no one wants to play with him? He’s not so sure about this move. And, it’s not just the school either. He’s also got to get used to a new apartment, a new neighborhood and everything. Everything keeps changing, nothing feels permanent or secure in his world. He’s been assured by his parents and grandparents that they all love him and that everything is going to be good. Right now, he’s distracted by Christmas.

His mom wants him to have a little stone for courage. Something that he can hold if he feels nervous in his new classroom. Most of all, she wants him to trust that he is loved beyond all measure, and to believe her when she says this move is really for the best.
