Everything Changes by Carol Dodd (Illustrated by Erin Huybrechts) is book about a beautiful exploration of impermanence accompanied by vibrant illustrations that explore every corner of the world, from rolling fields in Tibet to the cozy, fireplace-lit living room of a family member’s home. The illustrations remind children that everything changes no matter where you are, no matter who you are, and that’s all right.
Evaluation comments:
“This book tells young readers that everything changes in life and that it is ok. The book is easy to read and the illustrations are beautiful.”
“The book talks about going from day to night, a kitten to a cat, a puppy to a dog etc. The book shows preschoolers that it is okay for things to change, people, nature, feelings etc. This is a great book for social emotional development.”
“I like everything about the book. The book is written in rhyme which is fun and easy for young children to listen to. The illustrations show people, nature, wildlife in a colorful manner.”
“A great gift for a preschool teacher to read at the beginning of the year, for a family of a preschooler going through some changes in life, or for any preschooler.”
