  • Description

    Darby A. Strickland's A Big Change Happened introduces Wallace Whale, who loves his home in the warm blue sea near a green island where he and Mama sing, eat, sleep, and play. When Mama tells him they must leave on a long journey north, Wallace worries and asks many questions about the unfamiliar place ahead.

    As Wallace and Mama swim into the unknown, Mama gently reassures him that God's love follows him wherever he goes. Strickland weaves Wallace's story with Psalm 139 to help parents and caregivers talk with children about upheaval, uncertainty, relocation, and other difficult transitions. A special section at the end of the book offers practical guidance for helping children name their feelings, accept a new situation, and find comfort in biblical truths.

    A Big Change Happened is an accessible, faith-centered resource for families, caregivers, and ministry leaders working with young children facing moving, new schools, family changes, or other major transitions. Its warm illustrations and simple, reassuring text make it appropriate for read-alouds, bedtime conversations, Sunday school, and pastoral care.
