"This Little Prayer of Mine" Review and Giveaway! ***CLOSED***

As soon as we received this book in the mail, the kids wanted to sit down and read it! They thought it would be such a good book, and they were right. This Little Prayer of Mine by Anthony DeStefano is a great book to help kids learn about prayer. Each page brings up a situation in which children can relate to and it explains that they can pray about it and what they can pray for. Feeling afraid, lonely, and sad are just a few. It also goes on to remind children to thank God for all that he has given and to share with those less fortunate. The beautiful illustrations by Mark Elliot fit in very nicely. We have been working on a prayer lapbook in school recently and this book was a great addition to our subject and helped me reinforce the importance of prayer with the kids. I would recommend this book to anyone with kids, and I think it is great for a fairly broad age range as well.

Summary: Author Anthony DeStefano’s adult books, The Prayers God Always Says Yes To and A Travel Guide to Heaven, have sold a quarter-million copies. Illustrator Mark Elliott’s cherished artwork has appeared in popular picture books and novels for young readers, including Gail Carson Levine’s ever-popular Princess Tales series.

Now, these acclaimed inspirational experts have come together to create This Little Prayer of Mine, a beautiful and alluring book designed to guide children into a very simple, real and expressive relationship with God.

Through engaging rhymes and alluring illustrations, This Little Prayer of Mine shows children—and their parents and grandparents—that complete dependence on God is what brings peace and fulfillment. It invites children to know and believe that God is always just a simple prayer away and that He longs to respond to them with a resounding, “Yes!”

This Little Prayer of Mine appeals to readers from all different faiths. Easy-reader format allows children to read alone, or with someone older, and encourages them to openly express their fears, thanks, and needs directly to God.
