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

Caspian & Breeze was reviewed on Amazon by Jaslynn Kenyattaon on March 25, 2017.

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!
