Life Lessons for Children - Dealing with Moves and Other Big
Transitions

In Caspian and Breeze, the
children’s story written by author Gunay Moon, some daring seagulls fly out of
their comfort zone and explore a new part of the world they have never visited
before. Caspian and Breeze are two young seagulls from the same flock who are
faced with the challenging situation of making a move to a new home. The story,
which is brought to life by Timur Deberdeev’s colourful illustrations, shares
how each of these young seagulls deals with this new transition in their lives.
If you’re looking for a
way to prepare your child for a new move or a change in their life, this story
provides a great tool to discuss some of the feelings your child might have
when faced with making a big transition. At the same time, it describes an
interesting part of the world with enough detail to spark you little explorer’s
imagination!
While the authors suggest
the audience range to be children ages 3 – 12, I’d suggest reading this along
with your younger children. The vocabulary is a bit complex, and younger
children may have a few questions about the story along the way. This
children’s story is a good read and a great starting point for a conversation with
your children about adjusting or dealing with changes!
