Rebecca Winter has compiled and edited this sparkling and inspiring collection of 200 prayers for children 8 - 12 years old. Here you will find blessings from the Bible, Jewish prayers, lines from poetry, devotional passages from ancient Christian resources, and the teachings of saints and spiritual writers.

Especially worth noting is the connection made in these prayers between daily life and the natural world. Winter has divided the material into five thematic sections:

• Here I Am, God
• Morning Has Broken
• Starry Night
• This Is the Day
• All Our Tomorrows

This children's book of prayers with engaging illustrations by Helen Cann addresses many of the central spiritual questions children often have about environmental issues, peace in our time, and the presence of God in their lives and in their hearts.

We all have been given a mission to be spiritual companions to our children, grandchildren, and young friends. There are many blessings to be shared across the generations. We also can do more to respect and cherish children's spirituality. Talking with them and praying with them is highly recommended, and this book is the perfect place to begin.
