Summary:I know you're up in heaven, God,
and can hear my voice from there.
I'm just a little child.
Will you answer my short prayer?
So begins this delightful book that affirms God's readiness to answer our prayers, no matter what our age.
With engaging rhymes and beautiful illustrations, This Little Prayer of Mine assures children that God is always near--watching, listening, caring, and eager to respond to their requests. They'll also learn that prayer isn't just about asking for things, but about sharing their feelings of sadness and uncertainty as well as of thanksgiving and joy.
Most importanly, This Little Prayer of Mine reminds children—and those who love them—that they can trust God to tenderly care for them, no matter what the future holds.
My Review:
I read this book to my four sons (ranging in age from eleven to three), and they all found something beautiful in this prayer. The illustrations are perfect and simple with unexpected details that coincide with the lines on the page; they are absolutely perfect for children who are too young to read along. It's insightful to those who may just be learning what it means to have a relationship with God through prayer. It's rhythmic and inspirational, but most of all it covers all the bases. A perfect starter prayer for kids to recite, it could easily be put to music for effortless memorization too! We loved it! I am blessed to be a part of this blog tour, to add this book to our collection and to share one with a very special someone!
