Review Quotes:
"Little Prayers for Ordinary Days is an invitation from cover to cover. Each prayer invites children to step into their everyday life with God, which includes moments of gladness and sadness. We are reminded through clever verse and reflective images that all childhood experiences are ripe for connection with God. Children who begin with these prayers will not end with them but will use them as steppingstones to their ongoing conversational relationship with God. I recommend this bookfor all who need a reminder that God is with them throughout their ordinary days."
