Twin brothers Roberto and Luis Torres can barely contain their excitement as their Air Force family learns that they will be moving to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Readers join Roberto, Luis, their parents and their baby brother as they learn the history of their new home and explore some of the fun things to do when they get there. This book, like the others in the Home Is Where series, is designed to help children of military families become excited about moving to new places. Parents, teachers, counselors and others can use the book as a tool to help children visualize exactly where they are going, relieving some of the anxiety associated with relocation. Children already living on or near Eglin Air Force Base will also enjoy reading about places they have been and discovering new things to do and places to explore near their home.
