Customer Reviews

This is a Book for All Children!

I am the librarian at my church. I recently read this book to a group of children during their monthly visit to the library during children's church. They really enjoyed it! It's a book that generates a lot of questions, comments, and thoughts! What I personally like best about it is that it is suitable for all children,whether they go to church or not. It's non-denominational. It's suitable for Protestamts, Catholics, or Jews. The drawings are truly beautiful and realistically portray a young girl. I highly recommend this book for all church libraries, children's Sunday School classes, and homes.

I love this book!

Can I Pray With My Eyes Open makes me cry every time I read it. It voices how I felt when I was a child, and sometimes how I still feel about God and prayer. It does not espouse any particular or specific faith, except for faith in God. So every person who wishes to teach their child about communicating with God on a personal level should have this book! And even if you don't have any children, it's a quick, easy, lovely reminder of your own prayers. (And the illustrations are superb, perfectly connecting with the text.)

Heartwarming for children of ALL ages!

Having two granddaughters and a multitude of nieces and nephews, I wanted to find just the right gift for Christmas that would say how much I love them all. When I saw this book and read it myself, I knew I had found THE right book that could give my Love as well as that of our Father. Such a wonderful way to let a child learn the meaning of prayer! Too many of us are taught the traditional, "repeat after me" prayers that really aren't from the heart - Ms. Brown's beautiful story reminds us all that anytime, any way we can speak to God and He will hear! Thanks, Susan, for making my family's Christmas memorable.

A must for any parent of young children!

A beautifully written and illustrated book that opens the door to God for people of many belief systems. Let your children know there is no one right way to talk to God. A great gift for friends with young children (4-8).

An excellent way to introduce your child(ren) to prayer

This book is a wonderful display of artwork and poetry. A perfect way to encourage children to understand that they can always turn to their Heavenly Father. I recommend this book to all parents who wish to give their children a headstart on finding comfort through divine communications in their lives.
