Description

See below for English description.

Les parents de Valerie sont separes. Ce serait beaucoup plus facile pour elle si elle ne devait pas passer constamment de la maison de sa mere a celle de son pere. En effet, chaque semaine, elle doit faire le trajet entre les deux maisons avec sa valise. Elle doit transporter de plus en plus de choses, parce qu'elle ne veut pas laisser derriere ses livres preferes, son cadre prefere, son oreiller prefere, ou meme... son animal de compagnie prefere!

 

Valerie thinks she should live in one house and her mom and dad should visit her. Instead, she puts her books and her unicorn picture and her favourite pillow in her suitcase and takes them with her as she goes back and forth. But what will happen when she decides to pack up the dog?

A charming story about a girl making the best of her co-parenting situation, and the mom and dad (and dog!) who love her.

Robert Munsch wrote this story for a girl in Calgary, Alberta, who wrote to him and asked for a story about a girl going back and forth to her mom and dad's separate homes, just like her.

Original title: The Enormous Suitcase
