Reviews

[Valeria Vargas]

The Day He Changed is a touching story about kindness, empathy, and second chances. Honey’s compassion and courage make her a wonderful character, while Jimmy’s journey shows that there can be more behind someone’s difficult behavior than meets the eye. The story delivers an important message about understanding others without excusing their actions. Heartfelt, thoughtful, and perfect for young readers, this is a story that encourages kindness and leaves you with plenty to think about.

[Zowie McArdle]

A great story, grabs your attention on a tough topic. The main character teaches children how to stand up for themselves but also how to be kind. I would highly recommend parents to buy this book for their children.
