To Everything

Reach for this book when your child is facing a transition, experiencing a loss, or simply asking big questions about why things change. Drawing from the poetic wisdom of Ecclesiastes, this book helps children understand that life is a beautiful cycle of opposites: laughing and crying, keeping and throwing away, being born and dying. Bob Barner's vibrant torn-paper collages turn these ancient verses into a tangible, accessible experience for young children. While the text is rooted in scripture, its message of balance and timing feels universal. It is an excellent choice for providing comfort during times of grief or as a gentle introduction to the rhythms of nature and human emotion. Parents will appreciate how the bright, joyful artwork balances the more serious themes, making the concept of 'a time for everything' feel like a reassuring promise rather than a scary reality.
