"Learn about coping with change with little Isobel."
Many little children find change alarming or unsettling, just like Isobel, and her reassuring picture book adventure shows that while some change is inevitable, there are ways to cope when it happens.
Isobel loves going to school, not just because the things she does there are so much fun, but because every day is ordered and the same. All this changes when a new teacher arrives, and things become a little different. Isobel is really put out, but a chat in the garden with her dog Steve helps her realise that change is a normal part of life.
Readers watching through Isobel’s eyes will learn the same lesson and this warm, engaging picture book does a great job in boosting their resilience and emotional wellbeing. Isobel, her friends and Steve will be recognisable to all readers and the lesson they jointly deliver is a very valuable one. Equally reassuring in helping youngsters deal with change is The Koala who Could by Rachel Bright and Jim Field.

Isobel loves her school routine. There's art to enjoy, P.E. games to play, and most importantly, time with her best friend, Lillian. Everything is just the way it should be.
