It's Okay, These Things Happen - Overview

It’s Okay, These Things Happen is an insightful reflection, for adult and youth alike, that allows the reader a journey beyond the typical daily mishaps and straight to”the heart of the matter”: those moments that shape our lives and provide endless hope and perspective. Author Lee Hoedl and illustrator Amy Gohman provide you with this wonderful gift and keepsake that is relative and appropriate for all ages.  As Hoedl states in his foreword, “How easy it is to become angry, dismayed or disappointed when situations don’t turn out as we planned. And how much more empowering it is to remind ourselves and our children that all the mistakes, spills and accidents don’t define who we are as a person. It is in this spirit, I offer this story of Nathaniel to you. May his message remind you that mistakes are not fatal and efforts are not futile… and that ‘it’s okay, these things happen.’”
