Her career as an author and illustrator began as she created stories to entertain her own three children. Tammy’s enjoyable tales help teach values of kindness, friendship, and a mindfulness philosophy that helps children deal with life’s difficulties.

Ellie is Moving by Tammy Lempert is a picture book for young children. Eddie is back with another dilemma; this time he is worried about moving homes. He tells his worries to Grandpa Joe, who luckily has the perfect story that will help Eddie. Grandpa Joe tells the story of a fox named Ellie who must move home due to her mother getting a new job. Ellie doesn't want to leave her friends as she'll miss them too much. Ellie contemplates different ways to get out of moving, but nothing works. When Ellie arrives at her new home, she realizes that it isn't all that bad. What will Eddie learn from Ellie's story and will he have a change of heart and begin to look forward to a new home?
Ellie is Moving is a touching story within a story. Talented author Tammy Lempert has once again delighted readers with her thoughtful words of reassurance. If you are currently in the process of moving home and are struggling to get your children on board, then this book will be perfect for easing them into the transition. It will show them that no matter where they are, friends old and new will always be there. It also highlights the adventure of moving somewhere new which will hopefully open children's minds even more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story and can't wait to read more of Lempert's work. Congrats on the book, stay creative, and keep writing!
