📖 When The Wind Changes
✍️ Author: Sadie Gardere
🎨 Illustrator: Anastasia Khmelevska
👍👍👍👍

First of all, can we talk about these illustrations?! 😍 The watercolor artwork is absolutely GORGEOUS! And the writing is just as beautiful. When The Wind Changes is written in rhyme, but it reads more like poetry. A few lines felt a little forced to make the rhyme work, but overall, the words flow beautifully.

I especially loved the analogy of geese lifting each other up and supporting one another through life’s changes. 🪿 It’s such a sweet way to introduce little readers to resilience, big feelings, and the importance of being there for each other. I even learned a little something along the way, and honestly? I think I love geese a little more now! 💕
