Family Moving Day (French: La famille Passiflore déménage) is the seventh book in the Beechwood Bunny Tales series. It was published in 1992 by Éditions Milan in France, and Gareth Stevens in the United States. In the book, the Bellflower family of rabbits move to a new house on the other side of the hill near which they live. Everyone is delighted to go, except Periwinkle, who does not easily adapt to new settings. In response, he runs away, and it is up to his father Bramble to find him.
As of 2008, this is the last book in the Beechwood franchise to have an English translation available. However, the original French series is still being published, with over 30 titles to date. Versions of Family Moving Day have also been published in Korean and Slovene. An animated version appeared in December 2001 on France's TF1 network, as one of the first episodes of The Bellflower Bunnies series.

Famous quotes containing the words family, moving and/or day:
“In the middle classes the gifted son of a family is always the poorest—usually a writer or artist with no sense for speculation—and in a family of peasants, where the average comfort is just over penury, the gifted son sinks also, and is soon a tramp on the roadside.”
—J.M. (John Millington)
“The women made a plan to dig their own graves and they said, “We will stand beside our graves because we are not moving from here. You can shoot and we will lie in our land forever.””
—Sheena Duncan (b. 1932)
“Once it was, the repose of night,
Was a place, strong place, in which to sleep.
It is shaken now. It will burst into flames,
Either now or tomorrow or the day after that.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
