Repeating a grade in school can be a very stressful time for both parents and children. "It Will Be Okay " is about a family facing this situation. Taylor, the child in this story, deals with the challenges of struggling in school and then finding out that he will be repeating the year in school. While being sensitive to Taylor's feelings and concerns, his parents present the positive side of another year at the same grade level. The success that Taylor achieves in his second year makes him feel good about himself and even provides him an opportunity to help a classmate that is experiencing what he did the year before. This book is a valuable resource for parents, teachers, and school counselors as they approach this delicate subject with children.
