The story and illustrations in this book are really beautiful! They help teach readers that God is with us, loves us unconditionally, and can be trusted, always, and that even when we are at our lowest moments with perfectly natural feelings of grief, sadness, or anger, God is working for our good, and all will be well. Reading this felt like a hug from God and reminded me of how I've always felt His loving presence in my life, especially in nature.

A helpful resource for children who are walking through grief. I appreciate the thought that went into this book and I am grateful to see something like this in print.

This was a beautiful and sad book. I was extra primed for the sad content as my grandmother was in the hospital when I read it, and it was really sad to think about the possibility of her passing. I was encouraged by the focus in the book of the good times the child and the grandmother had together, and how I could focus on that for myself as well as for my kids and their relationship with her. I might need to buy this book just so I can "prepare" myself and my kids for when that time comes and help us to focus on God's goodness and the joy of connections.

All Will Be Well is a beautiful book about how a little girl processes her grandmother’s sickness and eventual death. It is a good book for anyone dealing with the loss of a loved one. The book takes the reader through some of her emotions, not just sadness and helps her deal with the different emotions. This book could be used to open up conversations with a child that is dealing with grief.
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion.

All Will Be Well: Learning to Trust God's Love by Lacy Finn Borgo has
cutesy, whimsical watercolour illustrations - the kind a child can get lost in for hours. It's a book about a child discovering God if that's the sort of thing you're looking for. There are some very interesting text designs on each page. The story itself deals with themes of sadness, death and grief and includes descriptions of prayer and visions. There are some activities at the end that include breathwork for kids that could be a great coping mechanism.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. #NetGalley #AllWillBeWell

Favorite Quote

“Then when you don't see me anymore, I will be where God is, said Mima, because God loves you and God loves me, 'All will be well, all will be well, everything will be well.”

Julian is worried about her grandmother. Mima is worried about Julian. Mima explains that God cares for all of them.

This is a story about the different emotions one experiences when grieving a love one. I love how the authors addresses the topic of losing a love one.

I found this a gentle, spiritual, book written well in discussing God relationship, to children (or adults) about death.

As the book explains itself, this story helps children understand that days can be difficult because of small things or really large things. The main character in this beautifully illustrated book learns from Mimi that God loves her wherever and whenever, and that all around her are reminders of God's love. She learns the story of Julian of Norwich, and it's a very simple but lovely story. It's a particularly good story to read to a child who's loved one is dying.

This was a really sweet little book and it was aptly timed that we read it as my husband’s stepfather has just passed away and it was therefore an ideal way to discuss the loss with our 5-year-old daughter

I loved the message and it was a great way to be able to talk about her feelings as well without them being forced and us specifically asking her too so we could see how she was feeling.

She attends a Catholic school so the religious aspects of the book weren’t an issue with us and she felt better knowing that God would still be there and around when needed as he loves her which was a comforting message. She had also been asking a lot of questions after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

The illustrations were lovely and they really suited the book, it was a lovely and special book to read, the death in the book is dealt with really well and with the sensitivity needed

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended

Dealing with grief and children who have lost a loved one can be difficult territory and needs to be handled with sensitivity yet realism. This book is a helpful read for anyone needing help in this area.

This is a wonderful book that normalizes strong feelings for children, particularly the sadness and anger that come with loss.

In the final moments before my father died as I sat by his bedside, the words of Julian of Norwich came to my mind. All shall be well. Years later, during the pandemic, I remembered her life and ministry and it brought me hope.

This was a sweet childrens book and I love the idea of handing a child a hazelnut as a way to remember Gods love. This would be a great book for a child suffering from loss. It’s sensitive to the realities while offering a spiritual understanding of our connection through a loving creator.

Such a beautiful and comforting book on grief that gives space to children, allowing them to hold their various feelings when facing the passing of a loved one. It also points to how as parents and grandparents, we can meet their emotional needs by affirming the godly truths that God loves them, as well as those who will pass away. Even though the prayers for healing are not answered in the way we want them to be, “All is well~” because God loves and cares for us. Highly recommended even if there are no impending deaths in the family because this is such an important topic to discuss gently with children in advance of unexpected tragedies in their and our lives.

I receive a digital advance reader copy from the publisher for my honest review.

I didn't like this book. Yes it is about grief and how kids perceives it. But the apparent deity *insert God* isn't my kind of approach on this matter.

A precious book about love, grief and trust. After reading this book I will never look at a hazelnut the same way. I plan on devoting more time in prayer to answer these important questions in my own life. This story would be a blessing to any family going through a difficult period.

This is something I have to tell myself every day, and something we all should remember, so I was thrilled to see this as the title of a children’s book. This one is all about learning to trust God’s love and plan for us, no matter how scared we are, and that sometimes blessings come in disguises. A reminder that all will be well, always, and one much needed in today’s environment and world.

A cute book about prayer and grief told through the eyes of a little girl, her grandmother, and the true story of Julian of Norwich. I liked the fact that the book focuses on the fact that grief doesn't always look the same and can change. A good reminder that all will be well and that if something as small as a hazelnut is loved by God, then so are we. The end even includes ways to experience God's presence through grief such as a nature walk or breath prayer.

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

If you need a book to teach children about finding God’s love when they are grieving, this is the one. All Will Be Well teaches readers that we can still find God and His love even amidst sad times. One of my favorite aspects of this book is that it shows many emotions that accompany death: anger, sadness, and hope. If you are anticipating a loss of a loved one, this would be a great book to share with tour children!

I received an Advance Readers Copy of the audiobook in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I read this story to my son, as I nursed him, and he was smiling the whole time. Could it have been just a coincidence? Of course. But, it was the first story I could really see him engage with. This is a great story to have to explain to little ones how to deal with grief and where God is during your grief. It serves as a good reminder to not just kids, but also adults, that God never leaves you and everything will be alright.

I'll definitely be purchasing a hard copy.
