When Change Happens: The Adventures of Odell
Odell the rooster and a young girl named Mica are lonely ...until one day they discover each other and become best friends. But disaster soon strikes when Odell has a bad accident on his farm. He struggles with the changes that happen to his body, causing him to question his identity and worthiness as a friend. Later in the story, the tables turn when Mica suffers her own tragedy. Like Odell, she wrestles with her self-confidence and her value as a friend after circumstances change. These two characters both struggle with events that change their appearance and self-confidence. But through compassion and understanding, this story reveals how true friends deal with hardship and become even better friends. This is a must-read to help young children discover that it is not external changes that make a person, but rather their kindness and love for one another.
