"Parental separation is never easy, but this gentle picture book
handles the subject with tenderness and sensitivity. The lyrical
text and gorgeous colour palette that changes with the passing
seasons capture the very subtle changes in emotion that both child
and parent can feel over time. It’s an ideal book for offering
gentle guidance to children who are experiencing big changes in
their family and processing the feelings that come with it.
However, it’s ultimately a book full of warmth and joyful moments –
time is an important healer and as well as the bad moments, change
can bring lots of good things too."
"Everything Changes is a beautiful, lyrical text which uses
swirling, crashing waves and stormy weather as a metaphor for
emotions a young child might feel. Åsa Gilland's stunning
illustrations take us through the changing seasons and remind us
that, in life, sometimes everything changes."
