My mother gave me this book when I was 8. It's a treasure.

These prayers are from scripture, theologians and poets. Some are children's prayers, but not many. Tasha Tudor's illustrations are charming.

A collection of prayers for children, more than "Now I lay me down to sleep." I love how tiny the book is, appropriate for little hands to use independently as children develop their own spiritual lives.

I adored this book when I was little. I loved all the precious little illustrations and I would choose different prayers out of it each night when it was time to say my prayers. I am going to look for a copy for my 4 year old daughter.

Sweet little book- contains a version of the Moravian blessing.

[Marta E C R · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a sweet little book published in 1952, with my husband’s birth name as an inscription. Having been brought up in the Christian tradition, quite a few of the prayers are familiar to me, some as songs for which I never knew more than the first verse (ie: Now the day is over/night is drawing nigh/shadows of the evening/steal across the sky - this is one my family frequently sang while traveling as evening was coming on). My theology has developed differently since then, but it was still nice to read.
