About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a big life change or expressing anxiety about the unknown future. It serves as a gentle reminder that transformation is the natural order of the world. Through stunning photography and lyrical verse, Cynthia Argentine illustrates how things that seem permanent, like a mountain or a solid rock, are actually in a constant state of becoming something else. This book is a wonderful tool for building resilience and patience. It helps children understand that while change can be slow or even invisible, it is often leading toward something beautiful and necessary. It is perfect for curious minds aged 4 to 9 who are ready to look at the earth with new eyes.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and focuses on natural sciences. It frames change as a positive or neutral force of nature, which can indirectly help children dealing with personal transitions.
Ideal Reader
A child who is a 'thinker' or a 'questioner.' Specifically, it suits a 6-year-old who might be nervous about moving to a new house or starting a new grade, providing a metaphorical foundation for the idea that change is okay.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents might want to have a map or a globe handy, as the photographs feature diverse locations around the world that might pique a child's geographical interest. A parent might choose this after hearing their child say 'I want things to stay the same' or after the child expresses fear about a natural event like a storm or a sunset.
