Description
Advance Praise
"In her beloved book Spiritual Conversations with Children, Lacy Finn Borgo tells us about placing a small round stone in a child's hand as a reminder that God is present and loves them no matter what happens. This tangible reminder comes to life through the falling of a hazelnut in the pages of this beautifully written book for children. The story of All Will Be Well moves us from the impending death of a beloved grandmother to gracefully engaging the wisdom of a great saint of our Christian heritage, Julian of Norwich, whose wisdom and legacy move throughout the pages in a tangible connection of love and hope. 'She rolled the hazelnut around in her hand and remembered that God loved her.'"
-Trevecca Okholm, author of The Grandparenting Effect: Bridging Generations One Story at a Time
"Lacy Finn Borgo's love for children and the things that trouble them shows forth beautifully in this comforting story that weaves the cares and sadness of a contemporary girl, Julian, with the life of ancient Julian of Norwich. The comfort of God comes through clearly as modern Julian realizes that 'all will be well.' Rebecca Evans's attractive illustrations depict the story line in a way that helps children grasp the truth Borgo is communicating."
-Scottie May, coauthor of Listening to Children on the Spiritual Journey and associate professor of Christian formation and ministry emerita, Wheaton College

A Christian view of death is given in All Will Be Well by Lacy Finn Borgo. This lovely fall setting story follows Julian and her sick grandmother in the last days before she passes away. Of course, it is the hope that she will get well but that does not always happen in this life so the story is authentic and realistic. Reading the book with my first grade granddaughter I could see that she had the same questions that Julian had. It opened the way for further discussion which I would recommend.
My granddaughter gave the book 4 Stars probably because Julian’s grandmother didn’t get well. Her favorite part was the lesson on God always loves each of us. Death is inevitable but we still find it difficult to talk about with others. I loved how Julian’s grandmother did just that in such a gracious and open way. For that reason this book received 5 stars from me. So rounding it out is 4.5 Stars from us.
The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.
