This Little Prayer of Mine by Anthony DeStefano
It is never to early to teach your child about the importance of prayer so I was excited when I received this book. A brother and sister share their emotions, fears, joys and sorrows throughout this book as they learn how to pray and what to pray for. In addition to prayer the story teaches how to be grateful for the things that we receive every day and reiterates the message that the most important thing is to trust in the Lord and his plan for our lives.
This is one of the sweetest books on prayer for children that I have come across. The beautiful illustrations only add to the story and beauty of the book.
I received this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Press to review as part of their blogging for books program.
Thank you God for Mommy by Amy Parker
In Thank you God for Mommy by Amy Parker, the reader sees the sweet relationship between a mother and baby panda bear. The rhyming story follows the pair as the baby plays, learns to share, gets in trouble and follows the example that the mother bear has set.
This would be a great Mother's Day present for the first (or second, or third...) mother as a special way to show how thankful you are for her and the role she plays in your life. It is a tender book that is easy to read for all ages with wonderful and colorful illustrations.
I received this book as part of the Booksneeze review program.
