Award-winning author Crescent Dragonwagon teams up with award-winning
Julián Is a Mermaid
illustrator Jessica Love to present a powerful updated edition of a classic picture book that asks a tough question and answers it with humanity, humor, and grace.
In this timeless picture book classic, a child asks,
Will it be okay?
That bee sting, that thunderstorm, those powerful feelings, losing a loved one.
Will It Be Okay?
Yes—yes, it will.
“This tender tale is a balm for worried children in troubled times and a model of comfort for caregivers to offer them . . . More than OK. Much more.”—
