A Prayer for Children

I bought this book for a couple of dollars and that's what I expected when I went to read it. But that is not at all how it turned out! I really enjoyed the book, I finished it in one evening. There is everything from joy and happiness to sadness and heartbreak. If you have a couple extra hours I would recommend this book.

It's about being a child and having children of your own

I am impressed by the way the stories have been presented--simple yet moving. It talks about the "what might have beens" of childhood and "what we want to happens" of adulthood. It depicts childhood as a guiding post towards the rough path of parenthood.It's a book that parents and non-parents should spend time with.
