New Growth Press, 2025. 32 pages.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reading Level<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/picture-books-2\/\">Picture books, <\/a><\/strong>ages 4-8<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recommended For<\/strong>: Ages 4-10<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Wallace loves playing and swimming near his Mama and with his friends: William, Wanda, Wesley, and Winnie. Wallace is a whale, so he&#8217;s much bigger than a human&#8230; but he&#8217;s small for a whale. Mama loves him and teaches him all about God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One day, a big change happened: Wallace and Mama had to go on a big journey. Mama told Wallace that it&#8217;s what whales do! But Wallace is not sure about this. What is it like up North? What if he can&#8217;t see anything in the dark? What about his friends? So many questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mama reassures Wallace over and over that God sees them and is with them. Echoing Psalm 139, she reassures her son that he need not fear and he will never be apart from God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strickland is an expert at navigating feelings (or, rather, helping others navigate feelings!). <em>A Big Change Happened<\/em> is an outstanding resource for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone else working with children. Sometimes, a big change is like Wallace&#8217;s: a move. Sometimes, a big change might look a little lesser to an adult, but it&#8217;s still a big change for a child (new teacher, new sibling, new next door neighbors, new classroom, etc.). This book provides a comforting and biblical tool to read with your children. Bonus: The Howdeshells&#8217; art is stunning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">*<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/category\/book-reviews\/starred-reviews\/\">indicates a Redeemed Reader starred review, an outstanding example in its field<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> Highly recommended! This would make a great resource for a church library or Christian school library in addition to a solid resource for families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book Reviews<\/strong>: We&#8217;ve reviewed the others in this series by Strickland: <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/something-sad-happened-helping-children-with-grief-by-darby-a-strickland\/\">Something Sad Happened <\/a><\/em><\/strong>and <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/recent-picture-books-from-new-growth-press-my-first-abc-book-of-bible-verses-something-scary-happened-our-great-god\/\">Something Scary Happened<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book Reviews:<\/strong> Love the Howdeshells&#8217; art as much as we do?
