"This wondrous journey invites us to feel the reality of how life is better together.

When a young child faces uncertainty, a loving parent gently points to the geese overhead. They, too, move through shifting winds, long distances, and change—adjusting, staying together, and continuing forward.
Through poetic rhyming text and soft watercolor illustrations, When the Wind Changes gives children a calm, nature-based way to understand big feelings, fear, transitions, and resilience. As the geese navigate the changing wind, young readers are reminded that they can move through difficult moments with support, courage, and love.
With a letter to grownups and thoughtful backmatter, this social-emotional learning picture book is a meaningful tool for families, teachers, counselors, and caregivers helping children cope with change.
Here’s why families will love When the Wind Changes:
