Synopsis
The Lord’s Prayer is essential to the Christian faith, yet the language and the ideas it conveys can be daunting to children. Our Father addresses children’s questions in a way that is both clear and poetic; Rainer Oberthür beautifully explains the meaning behind each line of the Lord’s Prayer, making it more accessible for young readers.
With bold, inviting illustrations that perfectly complement the text, this book will give readers of all ages a deeper understanding of God and the meaning of faith.

Reviews
K-Gr 3—This is the story of the Lord's Prayer, filled with discussion points that are appropriate for young children. The book begins with questions about faith that a child or adult may have. Oberthür then turns to the actual Lord's Prayer itself and breaks down what the individual lines might mean. For example, what does "Hallowed be thy name" mean, and how does one explain that to a child? The mixed-media illustrations are colorful and appealing and enhance the topic on each page. The presentation is not specific to any denomination and could be useful in any church setting or home. In a field of many books on Christian faith, this title is a standout that would benefit parents and teachers looking for a good book for Sunday school or to share with a child on their lap. VERDICT A lovely, family-friendly introduction to faith to be read and discussed one-on-one in a quiet setting.—Kris Hickey, Columbus Metropolitan Library, OH
