Children who love their lives often want nothing to ever change.

Through each step of his life, Dreyfuss begins to realize one important fact: the one thing that won't change is his love for his family and that love will keep him safe and warm.

One of a series of seven books by the author that deal with family values, the book gently counsels children to love the life they have. Change may be scary, but it can lead to even greater things. Beautifully illustrated and compassionately told, this is a book that is sure to earn a treasured place in any home or school library.
