New Base, New Place, New Friends

By Nadja Coln

Moving to a new base can feel a little scary-especially when it means starting at a brand-new school.

Nicole's house is still full of moving boxes when she gets ready for her first day. She worries that everyone already has friends and that she will be the only new kid in class.

But during Social Studies, something surprising happens.

When Nicole's teacher asks the class where they used to live, hands shoot up everywhere. One student talks about beaches and barbecue near Fort Bragg. Another remembers cold winters, swimming pools, and Spaghetti Ice in Germany. A classmate from Japan shares stories about beautiful mountains and kind neighbors.

Suddenly Nicole realizes something important-many of her classmates have moved too.

When she finally finds the courage to share that she just came from Fort Hood, Texas, the class welcomes her with smiles and questions. By the end of the day, Nicole discovers that a new base and a new place can lead to something wonderful.

New friends.

New Base, New Place, New Friends is a heartwarming story celebrating the strength of military children and the friendships that help them feel at home wherever they go.

Perfect for military families, classrooms, and children experiencing a move to a new school.
