New Children’s Book Was Inspired by a Single Comment

By COLlive reporter

My trip is canceled – I’m staying in town.
The snow is stunning, but it’s making me frown.
Join me and together we’ll see,
From A to Z, it’s meant to be!

A second book was published in the Rabbi Manis Friedman Children’s Book Series, following the now famous “Who Needs You,” which conveyed in a kid-friendly way not just the message of a mitzvah but a meaningful life lesson of the proper attitude necessary to serve Hashem.

The new book titled “A to Z Meant to Be: Seeing the Hand of the Creator in Everything That Happens,” available on Amazon and bookstores everywhere, is already bringing smiles to the faces of many children as they read and discover that everything that happens in their lives happens exactly the way Hashem wishes it.

“A to Z Meant To Be,” with its comforting message, was expertly written by veteran author Sara Blau and beautifully illustrated by the talented Arti Kukreja.

Rabbi Zalman Friedman, Director of It’s Good to Know who is the managing editor of the series, says that there are several more books currently being worked on as they look to continue this important series.

This latest book has been met with excitement from booksellers and store owners, as well as parents and educators.

“I was really inspired when I heard Rabbi Friedman talk about being appreciative,” said Mrs. Blau, a teacher and extracurricular director at Beth Rivkah High School in Crown Heights. “He said, ‘You should be so busy being grateful, you won’t even have time to complain,’ That line really spoke to me.”

“We feel very fortunate to be able to bring this book to the people,” said Rabbi Zalman Friedman. “It is so exciting to have the opportunity to share Rabbi Friedman’s substantive messages with children and make a real significant impact in their lives.”

“It’s good for every child to know,” said Rabbi Manis Friedman, “that Hashem gives me what I need from A to Z; My life is exactly as it’s meant to be!”

The book is available on Amazon or your local Judaica store.
