From the moment this book came into the house, Selena got her hands on it and I could hardly get it from her to review. This Little Prayer of Mine by AnthonyDeStefano is truly geared for the youngest soul.
“I know you’re up in heaven, God, and can hear my voice from there. I’m just a little child. Will you answer my short prayer?” These two little sentences caught Selena’s attention, and the rest of the book just memorized her.
I like the way that Anthony DeStefano wrote about everything children think of. We’ve all heard their little prayers, “For Puppies, pies, and ice cream,” to What if I am scared, lonely, selfish, or act bad. This book touches every emotion and thought that our little ones go through at any given moment of their day. It is a very simple read with such lovely illustrations that are sure to please the youngest child. This book reminds children that no matter what they pray, the outcome may not be what they desire, and that God truly is the one in control. It also reinforces that no matter what God does listen to them, and loves them always.
I recommend this book for anyone with a child or children. I feel it is a must when teaching children about prayer, and God’s love for them.
