Grace, gratitude, love and hope.
Whether I am feeling strong, or things go completely wrong, these are all the ways to pray.
All the Ways to Pray prompts young readers in everything from empathy to gratitude. It is a gentle reminder of the power of taking a moment to reflect.
‘In a very simple way this charming book outlines all the uncomplicated ways that a child might pray…With an adult leading the way, this book could be used in families, preschools and schools that are faith-based to introduce the youngest children to the ways and the places where they might pray and the topics that might inform their prayers. Text never exceeds a couple of sentences on a page so there is not a lot of listening required, and the images are important. The illustrations by Anne Ryan are simple and show scenarios that children will recognise from their own pre-school lives, and various cultures or backgrounds are implied in the depictions of children. Empathy, gratitude and hope are part of the prayer focus for an audience aged 2-5 years.’
