One Thing Never Changes

By Shawn Alyne Strannigan, Dorothy Donohue (illustrator)
Published 1995

One Thing Never Changes begins with a list of suggestions for parents moving with children. Most of these apply to moves overseas, though some will need to be modified.

The story follows Jenna who is moving because her daddy got a job in a different city.  Relieved at first because she can bring her toys and bed, she then realizes that she can’t bring her best friend and her feelings change.  Jenna’s parents assure her that she can write to her friend and call her sometimes.  Her Sunday School teacher reminds Jenna that, although moving will mean many changes, one thing never changes:  Jesus will always love her, always be with her, and always hear her prayers.  This is an “I Can Understand Book” – a series of small booklet-style books written to help children face difficult situations (e.g. the death of a loved one, a parent’s illness, etc.).

Reading level: age 5-8 years.
