| Summary: | "We all encounter change differently. Whether a new year, a new school, a new neighborhood, or a new team, sometimes change is hard. But Mitali Perkins reminds us that regardless of where we go and what we do, in all of these changes we are not alone: Jesus is with us. And not only is Jesus with us, but he understands and empathizes with us because he too has experienced the things we experience. Doing Something New is a prayer that points to the truths of the Beatitudes, offering children-and the adults who read with them-language to pray in times of change or stress. In addition to illustrations from Andres Landazabal, the pages also include corresponding Scripture from Matthew 5"-- Provided by publisher. |

| Author Notes: | Mitali Perkins (mitaliperkins.com) has written many books for young readers, including You Bring the Distant Near (nominated for a National Book Award) and Rickshaw Girl (adapted into a film), all of which explore crossing different kinds of borders. Her goal is to make readers laugh or cry, preferably both, as long as their hearts are widening. She lives and writes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Andrés Landazábal is an illustrator, production designer, and art director based in Colombia. His work has appeared in animation films, TV shows, and numerous children's books. Andrés's love for drawing and painting was instilled at a young age reading classically illustrated children's books. |
