Cloudy days change to sunny Water changes to ice Ice changes to water The world is filled with changes some we can control and some we can t. They just happen. Some changes are exciting. Some are surprising. And some changes can even be a little bit scary. But some things, like a mother s love, are best because they never change at all.

Children will be drawn to the bright, bold illustrations and to the similarities they see between themselves and penguin.
