When Things Change: A Christian Picture Book About Grief and God's Faithfulness

Picture a world painted in sunny colors: a yellow house with a bright red door, Miss Kitty curled on the pillow during lullabies, a backyard playhouse made for climbing and make-believe, and Grandma just down the street with her gentle tabby. Everything feels safe, warm, and exactly right.

Until life turns the page. The yellow house fades into a memory. Miss Kitty grows tired. Grandma steps into heaven, and small feet stumble on ground that no longer sits still.

When Things Change does not pretend that loss rewinds. Instead, it offers something truer. Love remains, even when rooms grow quiet. New laughter can rise beside old tears. Different can carry its own kind of good.

The story acknowledges grief for a while before hinting at the prospect of trust blooming in the hole created by loss. Inspired by Job 1:21, it discusses hope that fits in a child's pocket, comfort without sugarcoating, and faith without preaching.

Perfect for:

• Families facing moves, pet goodbyes, or the loss of a loved one
• Bedtime talks about big feelings and steady faith
• Any moment a child needs to hear that love stays, even when everything else shifts
