Children's Book of Family Blessings

By Ellen J. Kendig

These fun, faith-filled prayers zero in on what's truly essential to Christian kids aged five to eight--the important people in their lives, the ordinary events of every day, and those special family occasions that children love best. Nearly thirty selections provide multiple opportunities for daily prayer. Each is written in lively prose suitable for kids to either cuddle up with a loved one or to proudly use alone with their newly developed reading skills. The book is divided into four sections: prayers for home and family, prayers for each day of the week, prayers for holidays and birthdays, and prayers for special reasons, such as someone's death or a specific problem. Vibrant jewel-toned illustrations emphasize the peace and harmony of a child's domestic life. This book should be at the top of the list of every parent and grandparent, as well as aunts or uncles looking for a meaningful gift. It's also a welcome addition in the parochial school classroom, vacation Bible school, CCD class, or religious daycare center. Christian pediatricians, child and family counselors, and hospital pediatric units will also find this useful. +

child appropriate, nice pictures

I enjoyed this little prayer book. It contains appropriate prayers for children - simple, yet heartfelt. The pictures on each page are very pretty and add inspiration to the text. Not a stridently religious work - just simple and thought provoking for kids.
