A Child's Book of Blessings and Prayers

by Eliza Blanchard, Rocco Baviera (Illustrator)

Overview

A Child’s Book of Blessings and Prayers offers prayers for every day — giving thanks, seeking help, and expressing care for the earth and all living things. Here are words to bless the morning, share at bedtime, honor a birthday, even give thanks for a friend next door. These graces, poems, prayers, and blessings are drawn from around the world — from Hindu, Sioux, Islamic, Jewish, Christian, and Unitarian Universalist traditions, to name only a few. Beautifully illustrated in full color.
