Fantastic Changes

The subtext of Changes is aparent to adults when the background is seen as the protypical 50's nuclear family kitchen table pattern. The story revolves around the new nuclear family of the 90's from the perspective of the child. The use of colors keeps the book neutral and universal at the same time. I feel the art work expresses the story more than the words could ever say for a child. The issue is difficult to speak about with children but through this book I think people can find a good starting point to facilitate a dialogue.

a lovely book for children dealing with blended families

Ms.Hopkins has written a charming book for children dealing with divorce and blended families. The colorful illustrations are enticing and entertaining. Ms. Hopkins has done a beautiful job of normalizing what children go through in dealing with adult issues. It is a book for all children and not just for children of divorce and blended families, as they learn to deal with life's changes.
