All Kinds of Weather: How Trusting God Leads to Confidence in Chaos - Hardcover

by Abbey Wedgeworth (Author), Simon Tidwell (Illustrator)

How can a child face life's chaos with confidence?
By trusting in God's care and control.

Childhood anxiety is on the rise. Research shows that nearly 1 in 5 children experience anxiety symptoms, and rates have steadily increased over the past decade.

All Kinds of Weather by Abbey Wedgeworth is a tender, beautifully illustrated picture book that invites children into a story of resilience, hope, and healing. Through fine-art illustrations and gentle, lyrical rhyme, young readers follow a boy trying to stay warm and dry as the weather--and his life at home--begins to shift. Rain comes. Plans fall apart. But he learns that while he can't avoid every storm, he can choose how to move through them.

All Kinds of Weather is ideal for children who are:

• Coping with anxiety, fear, or emotional overwhelm
• Developing empathy for others walking through hard circumstances
• Feeling powerless in the face of big changes
• Experiencing grief, divorce, or family instability
• Living with storm fear
• Facing bullying
• Being cared for by someone under stress, grief, or financial hardship

Whether you're a parent, counselor, teacher, childcare provider, foster parent, ministry volunteer, or grandparent walking with a child through a tough season, All Kinds of Weather opens the door to conversations about emotions and resilience. It reminds children that they are never alone--no matter what the forecast may bring.
