About this book
Things change all the time. Look at the weather - or the moon. You can change your mind - or your mood! Sometimes it's tough when change happens to you - but it can bring happy surprises too. And you can change someone's day by showing you care.
This is a beautiful picture book to read with any child, but particularly someone facing a change or transition into a new situation. Change is a hard thing to cope with sometimes and the positive message in this book is that you - the reader - will cope with it, and even flourish. Visually, this is shown with characters having fun with family and friends, in gorgeously textured illustrations. The words rhyme, and this gives a soothing feeling when it's read aloud. Wonderfully reassuring.
