A great little book. It's in a simple style and easily read - I knocked off the whole book in a couple of family interrupted hours, which isn't to say it is simplistic: far from it. It is actually a profound book on a topic that challenges all of us more than once in life. The chapters are short and snappy, such is the layout of the book that there is plenty of space to jot down your own thoughts on the pages, if like me you dare do such things, and the illustrations help to move it along. The parable style of the book made me think about changes in life facing me, in a way the many "How to Cope with ... " books have never held my attention. The four little characters definitely caused me to stop and think - which is me? Buy it, read it, even if you're not facing changes (that you recognise) and keep it to re-read when the crunch arrives!
