This Little Prayer of Mine

This book was provided for review by the WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group.
This Little Prayer of Mine written by Anthony DeStefano and illustrated by Mark Elliott is the kind of book that I read to my children when they were little. Its beautiful pictures will draw your child into the story (prayer) and the poetic words will captivate them and will be sure to make them want to pull this book from their shelf for nighttime reading. The prayer leads your child through different areas of their life in which they may need the Lord's wisdom in making decisions between right and wrong.
About the book:

Author Anthony DeStefano’s adult books, The Prayers God Always Says Yes To and A Travel Guide to Heaven, have sold a quarter-million copies. Illustrator Mark Elliott’s cherished artwork has appeared in popular picture books and novels for young readers, including Gail Carson Levine’s ever-popular Princess Tales series.

Now, these acclaimed inspirational experts have come together to create This Little Prayer of Mine, a beautiful and alluring book designed to guide children into a very simple, real and expressive relationship with God.

Through engaging rhymes and alluring illustrations, This Little Prayer of Mine shows children—and their parents and grandparents—that complete dependence on God is what brings peace and fulfillment. It invites children to know and believe that God is always just a simple prayer away and that He longs to respond to them with a resounding, “Yes!”

This Little Prayer of Mine appeals to readers from all different faiths. Easy-reader format allows children to read alone, or with someone older, and encourages them to openly express their fears, thanks, and needs directly to God.
