SYNOPSIS:

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 importantly, 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 THOUGHTS:

My daughter loved this book. She wants me to read it every night before bed. I liked the lessons it told and the writing was perfect. It teaches kids about right and wrong, how not to be selfish, and other things while asking for God in prayer for guidance at bedtime.

This would make a perfect book for you to read to your child at bedtime. The pictures were illustrated wonderfully and kept my child interested until the end. A great book for beginner readers as well.

MY RATING:
