Even us. Sometimes we’re lucky enough to see these changes happen, while others take many lifetimes. Explore the awe-inspiring processes of change in the natural world, from the life of a bright shining star, the endless motion of the tides, and a caterpillar transforming into something new, to our own changing thoughts and feelings.All Things Change is a lyrical and beautifully illustrated book looking at the many different processes of change in the natural world, covering geology, ecology, biology and more. It also embraces the philosophical topic of change - how do we approach changes that make us feel sad? How do we cope with changes we can't control?Ideal for children to explore independently or with parents, it holds a special appeal for anyone struggling to find stability in a rapidly changing world.From the book:In everyone's life, change is going to happen, one way or another. Learning to accept it, and make the changes you want to, is very useful. Preparing and planning for a change helps you cope with it when it comes. Getting used to a change can take time, but bit by bit, it gets easier.Changes can bring new, wonderful opportunities, and make life more interesting. They can lead to new discoveries and take you to places you never imagined! And, although change can be hard, it’s much better than nothing ever changing at all.From School Library JournalGr 3-6-A gentle book about nature and change, this work combines elements of scientific informational picture books and self-help works with philosophical quotations and stunning illustrations to emphasize the inevitability of change.
