Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "With its portable size, thick binding, comforting illustrations, and more than 150 prayers, this book is an appealing package, and it's easy to see parents obtaining it for young ones curious about praying on their own. Rock says in the introduction, Learning to pray is learning to see the world as it looks from heaven. While that might momentarily befuddle, the book's strength is that it has something for everyone. The table of contents provides a quick guide, offering chapters like This Fragile World and Prayers for Sad Times. Additional helpful hints can be found in small print along the top of the pages, further describing the purpose of each prayer (e.g., God's Care for the Animals ). The often attributed prayers, some of which rhyme, run the gamut from aspirational to celebratory to comforting and are uniformly short: Dear God, / Be good to me. / The sea is so wide. / And my boat is so small. Jay's omnipresent soft watercolors add a further peacefulness. A first-line index concludes.--Kraus, Daniel Copyright 2010 Booklist"
