It Will Be Ok: A Story of Empathy, Kindness, and Friendship - Hardcover

by Lisa Katzenberger (Author), Jaclyn Sinquett (Illustrator)

A heartwarming picture book, perfect for helping children understand anxiety, kindness, and what it means to support a friend.

When Giraffe gets stuck in a tree, too scared to come down, Zebra doesn't rush or dismiss him. He simply listens, waits, and stays close. Through gentle storytelling and vibrant illustrations, It Will Be OK shows young readers the power of being present for someone who's struggling.

Includes caregiver tips on how to help anxious children, support worried friends, and introduce empathy in everyday moments. It offers a comforting, age-appropriate way to talk about big feelings and emotional safety--without trying to fix or explain them away.

For fans of The Rabbit Listened and Be Kind, this is a soothing, memorable read-aloud that reminds us: sometimes just being there is more than enough.
