2025 Christlit Book Award WINNER!

By popular poet, writer, and speaker Tanner Olson, All the Things I Say to God explores the profound world of prayer and shows children that heartfelt conversations with God can occur anywhere, anytime, and about anything.

Abby has been praying with her parents for as long as she can remember. They pray together before meals and before bed, on good days and tough days. Then one day Abby asks a simple question: “Mom, can I pray to God all by myself?”

Follow Abby on her journey of faith as she discovers how to express her gratitude, ask questions, pray for others, and use silence to communicate with God. Led by her own curiosity, she finds out that you can pray for anything and everything—God’s love knows no bounds.

All the Things I Say to God is for:

  • Children with budding faith who want to know more about how to talk to God.
  • Families who want to start conversations with children about prayer.
  • Churches and ministries with missions to develop the spiritual lives of children.
  • Fans of Tanner Olson and his writing.

Young readers will be captivated by this story as they realise that, like Abby, they too can talk to God about anything, all by themselves.

About the Author

Tanner Olson is an author, spoken word poet, and speaker. He travels across the country sharing poetry and telling stories of grace and hope. His work has been described as “hopefully unique and inviting” as it blends faith, humor, and curiosity. Tanner is the author of multiple books, including Walk A Little Slower: A Collection of Poems and Other Words, All the Things I Say to God (Zonderkidz, 2025), and Getting Through What You're Going Through: Notes and Poems for Hoping and Becoming (Zondervan, 2026). Tanner doesn’t take himself too seriously, drinks his coffee black, and cheers for the Orlando Magic. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife, Sarah, their son, Judah, and their dog, Pancake. To connect with Tanner, find him on Instagram (@writtentospeak), on Substack, or visit writtentospeak.com. Anita Schmidt lives in Northern Germany surrounded by seven seas. Her passion for drawing began early in life from the moment when she first held a pencil. Since then, Anita went on to study graphic design, but after having two children, she rekindled her passion for illustrating and now can’t stop drawing!
