Mama has some exciting news: a new job and a new place to live. Jamela's not happy with the plans, and, fed up with all the fuss, she packs herself in a box and falls asleep. There's drama in the search, and, as in the other Jamela stories, her friendly community rallies to help save the day. Jamela's abundant energy spills over into the cheerful illustrations.
