Customer Reviews

Perfect baptism or confirmation gift

I give this book to nieces, nephews and friends when baptized or confirmed. Its best for under age 7, I would say. It has beautiful, vividly colorful graphics that naturally attract children. The simple, but thoughtful messages are easy for even a 2 year old to understand. And, it helps transmit the message that prayer is a warm, comforting activity, to be incorporated into daily life.

SIMPLE AND SWEET

I WAS LOOKING FOR A GIFT FOR MY 2 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND I ENDED UP BUYING THIS FOR MYSELF. IT IS LYRICAL AND INSPIRATIONAL. IT REALLY SPOKE TO ME PERSONALLY BUT ITS ELEGANT AND DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE WOULD MAKE A GREAT GIFT.

SUPERB TEXT. A MUST HAVE.

I love reading this book to all of our children: from the 4 year old to the newborn. It has a rich text with wonderful images for each day of the week. I think everyone should end and begin their day with the kind, welcoming thoughts this book evokes. Highly recommended.

Beautiful on the eyes and the ears

This charming book of daily prayers is an invition to consider different aspects of prayer. Each day focuses on a different prayer theme with a relatively short lyrical poem. In addition to exploring different topics for prayer, it reinforces learning about the days of the week.Perhaps most engaging are the pictures that accompany the prayers. The bold, colorful florals have the details and nuances to attract the sophisticated young reader without distracting from the content.

Touching and sweet

This daily book of prayers written by Cynthia Rylant is a calming and sweet addition to a child's bedtime routine. The words to each prayer are set in an easy to read rhyming pattern that any child can read or memorize in very little time. The perfect book for those parents of children who are themselves the most spiritual of all creatures.
