About Change Forward Nursery Rhyme Series

What happens when curiosity, friendship, and a magical adventure come together? Join Aya, Alina, Marcus, Mateo, and Amina as they journey through a mysterious golden portal and discover the remarkable life of Biddy Mason—a woman whose courage, compassion, hard work, and generosity helped make a lasting difference in her community. In this engaging historical adventure for children, five young friends travel back in time and meet Biddy Mason, a woman who faced tremendous hardships but continued to move forward with strength and determination.

Born in Mississippi in 1818, Biddy experienced a difficult early life and traveled across deserts, hills, and plains before eventually gaining her freedom and building a new life for herself. As the children listen to Biddy share her story, they discover that her life was about much more than overcoming challenges. Biddy learned to care for the sick, helped families in need, shared her food and time, and used what she had to support the people around her.

Her compassion became one of the most important parts of her legacy. Through conversations with Biddy, the children begin to understand powerful lessons about perseverance, freedom, kindness, courage, generosity, and service. They learn that helping others does not always require grand gestures.

Sometimes, a helping hand, a kind word, shared food, time spent with someone, or simply caring when another person is struggling can make a meaningful difference. The story encourages young readers to think about how they can use their own talents and abilities to help others. Biddy reminds the children that good deeds can continue long after a person is gone, inspiring others to carry kindness forward in their own families, schools, and communities.

But the learning doesn't end when the adventure is over!
