From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3 Most prayer collections for young children contain many of the same selections: "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep," "The Lord's Prayer," "Day by Day," "I See the Moon" and so forth. The principal differences, then, are in the format and illustrations. Here 21 familiar devotions with a Christian emphasis are presented in a handsome, artistic layout, one per page in large, clear type with an appealing illustration. The multiracial children and babies, realistically painted with clarity and elegance in both modern and old-fashioned settings, have a still, meditative quality appropriate to the subject matter. They are praying, thinking, dreaming, reading, contemplating natureall activities with which children can identify. Pat Pearl, First Presbyterian Church Lib . , Martinsville, Va.
