Things That Pass

“Things That Pass” is a tender picture book for children that offers comfort and invites you to see life’s moments—big and small—with fresh eyes. Beatrice Alemagna’s poetic illustrations tell of feelings that come and go like clouds in the sky—happiness, anger, courage, shyness, or longing. With soft colors and loving details, the book shows that nothing lasts forever, and that this, in fact, is a source of special comfort. Children discover a world in which change is part of everyday life and every emotion has its place. At the same time, it offers adults a gentle reminder to stay mindful and take time for what truly matters. A heartwarming, artistic book that fosters imagination, empathy, and sensitivity, and is wonderfully suited for shared reading moments with family or in an educational setting.
