Description
Our initial view of a situation doesn’t always allow us to see the whole picture. Only by looking at an issue from a different perspective can we gain a better understanding. The Overlook Book: Change Your Perspective, Change the World encourages readers to see things from a different perspective in a very literal way.
Showing scenes from one viewpoint and then pivoting to an aerial view helps readers understand what is really going on in each scene and what vital details we might be missing with our limited view. Author and illustrator Megan Fullmer Perry’s colorful artwork is created using paper collages, so the images have a degree of depth, shadow, and texture from the layers of paper that mirror the layers of our understanding.
The Overlook Book invites readers to open their minds to new perspectives and explores concepts of friendship, family, support, love, inclusion, peace, and kindness.

This was a wonderful visual that served as a catalyst for my 5 year old to ask lots of questions about different life situations. We even read it a second time to see what new changes we could find in each picture and related it to how we might perceive or be able to see one thing but there may be a list of issues in someone’s life that we are completely unaware of.
It prompted a nice discussion about how what we present outwardly to the world isn’t always accurate or representative of how we are feeling on the inside. And we also talked about how simple kindness and compassion goes a long way - you never know what someone is going through in their daily life and kindness is one of the ways you can always put your best foot forward.
My daughter recognized the loneliness associated with lack of support in the “initial view” perspectives but we talked about how if the characters were real they would be friends with each other, okay together, help one another.
I think this is a wonderful book to help children grow more compassionate for others.
