Summary
A beautiful and uplifting collection of heartfelt， hand-lettered full-color artwork and soothing messages that provide compassion and connection for everyone feeling overwhelmed in their lives。
All of This is for You is balm for anyone feeling lost and detached from today’s confusing， hectic world。 In her luminous four-color hand-lettered artwork and accompanying heartfelt notes， acclaimed illustrator Ruby Jones reminds us that even when times are tough， it remains important to be kind and gentle with ourselves and those around us。
Jones received worldwide recognition after she posted an illustration of two women—one of them a Muslim wearing a hijab—embracing after the 2019 Christchurch terrorist attacks。 The image was accompanied by an extraordinary message of empathy and understanding: "This is your home and you should have been safe here。"
A beacon of hope and kindness， All of This is for You is for every one of us， because no matter the individual issue—whether it’s self-image， identity， depression， grief， or anxiety—we all struggle with challenges。 Jones's gentle illustrations and soothing insights are a breath of fresh air during tough times， and a reminder of humanity's inherent and enduring goodness。

All das ist für dich: Das kleine Buch der Zuversicht - Ruby Jones»Ich hoffe， dass du in diesem Buch immer eine Seite findest， die dich anspricht – egal wie es dir gerade geht。« ― Ruby JonesIch war sehr gespannt auf dieses Büchlein， wusste ich doch， so muss ich leider gestehen， nichts mit dem Namen Ruby Jones anzufangen。Als ich es dann aber bekam und das erste Bild sah， kamen mir nicht nur die Tränen， sondern ich wusste sofort worum es sich handelte。Ruby Jones ist eine junge Autorin aus Wellingto All das ist für dich: Das kleine Buch der Zuversicht - Ruby Jones»Ich hoffe， dass du in diesem Buch immer eine Seite findest， die dich anspricht – egal wie es dir gerade geht。« ― Ruby JonesIch war sehr gespannt auf dieses Büchlein， wusste ich doch， so muss ich leider gestehen， nichts mit dem Namen Ruby Jones anzufangen。Als ich es dann aber bekam und das erste Bild sah， kamen mir nicht nur die Tränen， sondern ich wusste sofort worum es sich handelte。Ruby Jones ist eine junge Autorin aus Wellington， Neuseeland deren Botschaften voller Hoffnung und Güte sind。 Sie erlangte weltweite Bekanntheit，als sie nach den Terroranschlägen von Christchurch im März 2019 eine Zeichnung postete auf der sich zwei Frauen umarmen， unterschrieben mit den Worten>>This is your home and you should have been safe here >> Es gibt Bücher， die sich anfühlen wie eine Umarmung。 Rubys tröstende Botschaft lautet: Auch wenn das Leben manchmal nicht einfach ist，so sind wir doch nie allein， und die Dinge， die wir miteinander teilen， sind so viel zahlreicher als die， die uns zu trennen scheinen»Ruby Jones Bilder sagen mehr als tausend Worte。 Sie erreichen Menschen in allen Ländern der Welt。« Stuff New Zealand»DAS LEBEN IST NICHT LEICHT。NIMM DIR SO VIEL ZEITWIE DU BRAUCHST 。« ― Ruby JonesIm Vorwort schreibt Ruby， dass sie versuchen möchte all jenen sensiblen Menscheneine Stimme zu geben。 Dem kann ich mich nur anschließen， und euch dieses Buchans Herz legen。 Lasst euch davon umarmen。 。。。more

All of This Is for You is a beautiful little book of inspirational and compasionate messages paired with simple yet beautiful artwork。 Jones’s words are so powerful without being overwhelming， and honest without being judgmental。 I really feel that， regardless of a person’s individual circumstances， it is a book that has the potential to show the reader that they are not alone in their attempts to navigate this chaotic life that can sometimes feel as though it is weighing people down， and that k All of This Is for You is a beautiful little book of inspirational and compasionate messages paired with simple yet beautiful artwork。 Jones’s words are so powerful without being overwhelming， and honest without being judgmental。 I really feel that， regardless of a person’s individual circumstances， it is a book that has the potential to show the reader that they are not alone in their attempts to navigate this chaotic life that can sometimes feel as though it is weighing people down， and that kindness towards yourself and others should not be put aside as those obstacles come about。 All of This Is for You is a book that I will hang onto for a long time， if not forever， so that I can look at it whenever I feel the need for some inspiration and to know that I am not alone in my struggles。 Regardless of your individual story and truth， this book can benefit anyone and everyone; I highly recommend it。 。。。more

Do you know why this isn’t a huge book of kindness？ Because there are only so many cliches out there， but whatever is there was definitely used in the making of this book。 Every trite tshirt slogan， every yogi wannabe motto， all of it。 And it all began with a well timed well placed well intentioned cartoon in the wake of the New Zealand’s 2019 terrorist attack。 Time magazine cashed in on the trend and that must have given the author the idea there’s a book in this。 There isn’t， though。 This isn Do you know why this isn’t a huge book of kindness？ Because there are only so many cliches out there， but whatever is there was definitely used in the making of this book。 Every trite tshirt slogan， every yogi wannabe motto， all of it。 And it all began with a well timed well placed well intentioned cartoon in the wake of the New Zealand’s 2019 terrorist attack。 Time magazine cashed in on the trend and that must have given the author the idea there’s a book in this。 There isn’t， though。 This isn’t a book， this is a drawn out postcard that wants to serve as a comforting blankie， but the comfort it offers is…well， it’s like wrapping oneself up in a postcard。 I don’t for a second question the author’s excellent save the world through love and kindness intentions…I disapprove of the method of delivery。 I disapprove of the ridiculous popular zeitgeist of comforting cliches and millennial infused blend of individual specialness （and yes， it’s ok to blame Mr。 Rogers， another well intentioned misguided soul） and the sheer ludicrousness of the notion of finding solace in a slogan。 This book doesn’t have a single original thought or idea in it， not a one， nothing you wouldn’t find on an inspirational poster or a meme or something。 Who and how and why would be inspired by this love yourself， take time for yourself， it’s ok to be yourself crap？ Seriously？ If you don’t already know these things for yourself and need a tiny book of imitation kindness to tell you…well， that’s just sad。 Also， not a sort of thing one should learn from a book。 Especially a book like that。 There is a certain mentality for which this is suited。 Someone who enjoys daytime tv， avoids news， likes color pink， cutesy things， crafts aggressively， thinks positive thoughts aggressively， possibly believes in The Secret。 For all others， no amount of bright bland cartoons is going to make up for the fact that this book has nothing to offer and in fact does the notion of kindness a disservice by equating it with twee words， when in fact， like love， it should be a verb， an action。 Anyone who has ever been on a receiving end of a genuine act of kindness I’d think would agree。 。。。more

This is such a sweet and beautiful reminder of a book。 I wish I could frame the illustrations and put them all over my room。 This is a great gift for anyone， leave it on the coffee table， or next to your bed。 Pick it up daily， weekly， or monthly for a gentle reminder you might need to hear that day。 Thank you @harperonebooks for my copy。 I will cherish it forever。

All of This Is For You was originally published in NZ in 2019 and hit the US in March of 2021。 This books is a little dose of what the doctor ordered for this pandemic we have been living in this last year。 It’s filled with all the things you need 。。。 compassion， love and kindness。 We could all use a little kindness。 This quick picture book is the hug you didn’t know you needed。 Plus the beautiful illustrations are an added bonus。

It’s funny how a book that originally came out in NZ in 2019 can become even more relevant upon its US release in 2021。 Living in a country that has had the highest number of cases and deaths from COVID-19， it is so easy to feel hopeless。 As an Asian American specifically， to read this book a year into countless xenophobic hate crimes and within days after the shooting in Atlanta， picking this book felt like the right time to do so; to assure me that there is kindness and there is hope in all th It’s funny how a book that originally came out in NZ in 2019 can become even more relevant upon its US release in 2021。 Living in a country that has had the highest number of cases and deaths from COVID-19， it is so easy to feel hopeless。 As an Asian American specifically， to read this book a year into countless xenophobic hate crimes and within days after the shooting in Atlanta， picking this book felt like the right time to do so; to assure me that there is kindness and there is hope in all that is to come。 。。。more

This book is absolutely delightful。 Multiple times while reading it I flipped the page and broke out into a smile。 The images are simple but spoke to my heart。 A great little book to keep around the house and give as a gift。 I also appreciated the diversity of people represented。 It really feels like a hug from humankind。
