All of a Sudden and Forever: Help and Healing after the Oklahoma City Bombing

This picture book recounts the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and its lasting effects on people who were killed, injured, or connected to the tragedy. It centers on what followed: survivors sharing their experiences, people giving and receiving support, and a memorial where many found solace. A nearby American elm survived the blast and became a symbol of hope; its seeds were gathered, grown into saplings, and given to survivors. The book also connects this community response to comforting people affected by later tragedies.
