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?
(from back cover)

THIS LITTLE PRAYER OF MINE is a totally delightful book that illustrates how to pray and trust God to answer our prayers, no matter what our age.

The book has engaging rhymes and beautifully done illustrations, and teaches our children that God is always near, listening, and eager to respond to our requests. They’ll also learn that prayer isn’t all about asking for stuff, but also for giving thanks for what God has already blessed us with.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cute little book and read it to my eight-year-old and five-year-old, and they were both completely captivated by the story. They wanted me to read it to them over and over again.

If you are teaching your children about prayer, or are just looking for a cute little book to put in your child’s Easter basket, then THIS LITTLE PRAYER OF MINE is an excellent choice. Highly recommended. $12.99, hardcover. 40 pages.
