A child’s day can flip in an instant, just like the weather. One moment, they’re basking in the sun; the next, a downpour washes their plans away. ️

But when we, as parents and caregivers, teach our kids to embrace life’s shifting skies, we empower them to navigate unexpected changes with resilience and creativity. ☁️

And so, one KidLit creator from the land down under is helping children see change as an exciting adventure, reminding them that sometimes, the best way forward is to embrace it as a brand-new kind of fun.

Children’s Author, Rachel Noble, joins John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #237 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share the release of her new children’s book, Willow Takes on the Weather (published by Page Street Kids), the power of perseverance and adapting to life’s changes, how we can help children overcome life’s storms, supportive ways to navigate grief and rediscover joy, plus much more. ☔

We encourage you, our fellow neighbors, to support Rachel by grabbing your copy of Willow Takes on the Weather and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones: https://amzn.to/4lk15R6.
