When children have a listening companion who hears, acknowledges, and encourages their early experiences with God, it creates a spiritual footprint that shapes their lives. Lacy Finn Borgo draws on her experience of practicing spiritual direction with children as she introduces key skills for engaging kids in spiritual conversations, offering sample dialogues, prayers to use together, and ideas for play, art, and movement.

Help Children Navigate Loss and Grief

Then when you don't see me anymore, I will be where God is, said Mima, because God loves you and God loves me, 'All will be well, all will be well, everything will be well.'

Mima is very sick, and just thinking about it makes Julian very sad and very angry. Julian is worried about Mima and wonders if God can hear her or if God cares. So Mima teaches Julian that God loves us and that God can be trusted--even when we are sad or angry.

Help young hearts explore life's toughest questions with All Will Be Well, a tender and beautifully illustrated book that brings the wisdom of Julian of Norwich to life for children.
