Today we’re answering the question, “How do I handle the changing of a season?”

We’re talking about the changing of the seasons today and I love what Ellie said about this book, because it’s exactly what we need right now as we step into spring. She said: “We all know what it’s like to be in the winter seasons and this book is a reminder that winter never gets the final word.”

Ellie’s new kids book and accompanying album is called Spring Sings and it’s an Easter book so this would be such a fun gift to put in Easter baskets!
