All the Things I Say to God

Tanner Olson's children's book presents prayer as an accessible, everyday conversation between a child and God, emphasizing that prayers need not be polished or formal.

Through the story of Abby, the book models how young readers can express anything—joys, questions, fears—to God in their own words.

Its tone is gentle and inviting, aiming to remove performance anxiety around prayer and nurture a sense of direct relationship with the divine.

Olson wrote the book during a season of personal struggle, intending to offer hope and language for families and children.

The book has been used in readings and shared widely, prompting heartfelt responses from parents and listeners.
