About this listen

From CNN national correspondent and children’s book author René Marsh comes a poetic and heartfelt book about two siblings who learn how to navigate a difficult life change while still holding on to hope. The Nature of Change is perfect for any listener ages 4 to 8 who needs encouragement and wisdom in the face of a challenge, big or small.

When Kit and Amal wake up in their new house, they can’t help but notice how different everything is. Mom and Dad say that change is a part of life, though that does not make it any easier. But as Kit and Amal explore the woods in their backyard, they notice how different parts of the natural world—from big trees to tiny spiders to climbing morning glories—navigate life’s changes with determination, resilience, and hope.

Written after losing her first child to brain cancer and finding solace in the natural world surrounding her, CNN national correspondent and author René Marsh shows listeners that even the darkest moments can eventually bloom beautiful things.

The Nature of Change is:

  • ideal for listeners ages 4–8
  • written by CNN national correspondent and children’s book author René Marsh
  • perfect for tough situations such as loss, divorce, moving, and other major life changes
