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."—Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"With empathy, the creators imagine a parent with an uncanny ability to hear a child's concerns, to hold the emotions that accompany them, and to think and talk about them."—Publishers Weekly
