  • Everything Changes (23)

    When parents break up, a child may wonder if things will ever be the same. This tender, moving story explores the emotions children may feel through this difficult transition.

    “This book deftly compares emotions to nature and conveys the message that life goes on, ever changing and ever growing. The text and illustrations work harmoniously to provide examples and extend the metaphors. This one is ideal for young ones processing a big life change. … Tenderly nuanced.”
    -- Kirkus Reviews

    “Illustrations feature a family and community that have many different backgrounds and cultures; the emotions of the young child are warmly evoked, inviting readers to connect with the changes that they see in the world around them and the emotional world inside them. … Affirming, without being saccharine, this title honors the emotional journey of young children facing such separations.”
    -- School Library Journal

    “A child experiences the change of seasons as well as the change of divorce in this symbolic picture book. … The text is especially poetic, with the child’s feelings compared to the swirling sea or the blowing wind. The depiction of the seasons also serves as an apt metaphor for the changes … The illustrations complement the story beautifully … This is an incredibly thoughtful book about the often painful subject of divorce, and it is one that approaches the topic in a way that’s respectful of children’s feelings, while also conveying a sense of hope.”
    -- ?Children’s Literature Comprehensive Database

    "Award-winning author and educator Clare Helen Welsh writes a creative and impactful story with her latest tale. Her collaborations with illustrator Åsa Galland are both mindful and full of feeling, brought to life with dazzling color, warmth, and charm."

  • Pig in the Pond, The - Big Book (96)

    The pig's in the pond! The pig's in the pond! At Neligan's farm the pig's in the pond! Neligan's pig knows that pigs don't swim. But on one of the hottest days of the summer, she just has to take a dive—and she's not the only one at Neligan's farm who's sweltering! From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 2-- "One day Neligan went into town. It was hot. It was dry. The sun shone in the sky. Neligan's pig sat by Neligan's pond." This book tells the story of how the pig finally cools off. After enviously watching the self-satisfied ducks and geese swimming around, she goes through some dainty preparation, then dives in with a "SPLASH!" that fills a double-page spread. When the farmer comes home, there is a tense moment while he surveys the scene, then joins the pig in the pond, followed by the other farm animals. Waddell conveys a wonderful sense of silliness. The well-spaced print and the repetition make the book appropriate for beginning readers, but it certainly succeeds as a read-aloud for preschoolers. The playful language, rhythmic but not rhymed, matches the mood of the tale perfectly, and the artwork is a delight. Done with watercolor and pencil, Barton's animals are especially endearing and incredibly expressive, considering how simply they are drawn. The pig's decision to dare to do something unusual ("She didn't go in, because pigs don't swim"), and Neligan's affirmation of that decision, are story elements that young children will relate to. --Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review "Highly Commended for the Kate Greenaway Medal (1992) and described as "Outstanding!" by The Independent on Sunday"
