Synopsis
From the theft of his sheep to his grandson's breaking a leg, the old weaver only says "It's all for the best," leading the townspeople to wonder if he's crazy. And he keeps on weaving his rugs. A greater lesson is learned when the king's soldiers come to town, looking for able-bodied men.
Based on a traditional Eastern story, Hans Wilhelm's whimsical watercolor illustrations perfectly complement this tale of patience and wisdom.

From the Author
"In the rugged hills of the land of dawn there lived a carpet weaver. His skills were well known, for his carpets were treasured all over the province. Their colors were deep and rich like precious jewels and their designs had the radiance of the morning sun."
So begins the most inspiring book I have ever done. ALL FOR THE BEST reveals the secret of true happiness and leaves the reader with a sense of trust in the process of Life itself. The basis for this story is an ancient Eastern tale which I have now illustrated and written for the children (and grown-ups) of today. In our present unsettling times this book offers a powerful inspiration with a positive, reassuring message of strength and comfort.
Hans Wilhelm
