r helping children develop a sense of spirit and a wonderful gift of encouragement for those you love. If I Could Change the Weather is a photoessay to nurture spiritual strength in the face of apparent adversity. It begins with beautiful Associated Press photographs of children, actual world news images, and puts this news in a context of love. The weather is a metaphor for the caring we can do for one another to make the world a better place. Simple, direct, and yet poetic, the book offers in a few pages a powerful message that can transform and transcend. As a children's book, it opens a dialogue to help a young person begin to find a spiritual identity. As a work for children AND adults, it is both encouraging and uplifting. It shows us that no one can or must do everything, but each of us can do something. It reminds us that we are never alone in any difficulty. It is a book about faith, hope, and promise. It is non-denominational, suitable for virtually every religious faith. It is a book from the heart and for every heart.
