Heidi Lynn’s Book Reviews

First, I want to thank Jessica Brzezinski and Sandra’s Book Reviews for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Things Feel Different by Jessica Brezezinski is a book that every child of every age should read with their parents. Jessica brings up a very important topic that children are not liking the changes they have to face at school during Covid. 

This book is dedicated to all of those challenged by the 2020 Global Pandemic. 

Jessica beautifully shows not just tells by not only her storytelling but by her graphics as well. She is an incredible artist as you can see the story come to life via the pictures.

I was impressed with how the Mom explained to her in specific detail how the changes could be good. It was eye opening as I hadn’t even thought of what was suggested.
