Join children's author Lisa Katzenberger in a conversation about her new children's book, It Will Be Okay, a sweet story about empathy, kindness and the power of friendship. A gorgeously illustrated picture book that provides validation for children’s fears and provides two ways for them to help someone in need: being present, and listening.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Giraffe and Zebra meet every day under their favorite tree to walk to the watering hole. But today, Giraffe isn’t there!
Where could he be? Zebra spots him hiding in the tree; Giraffe has seen a spider and is scared silly. Zebra patiently talks to Giraffe and does the very best thing: supports Giraffe for as long as Giraffe needs it.
Praise for IT WILL BE OK
“Sinquett’s brightly hued cartoons delightfully express the characters’ emotions and personalities... [a] sweet tale of kindness." —Kirkus Reviews
