There are precious prayers to pray with your children, but these prayers also did such good for my own adult heart. Do not miss the gift that is this book.

"Little Prayers for Ordinary Days is an invitation from cover to cover. Each prayer invites children to step into their everyday life with God, which includes moments of gladness and sadness. We are reminded through clever verse and reflective images that all childhood experiences are ripe for connection with God. Children who begin with these prayers will not end with them but will use them as steppingstones to their ongoing conversational relationship with God. I recommend this bookfor all who need a reminder that God is with them throughout their ordinary days."
Lacy Finn Borgo, spiritual director and author of Spiritual Conversations with Children
"Little Prayers for Ordinary Days is a truly wonderful book of prayers for children. A beautiful gift is kept inside its pages. These authors know every ordinary moment becomes extraordinary when we remember the Lord. And as parents help their children through these simple prayers, they will find their own refreshment and wise perspective for varied moments such as Looking in the Mirror, Waiting, and When I Do What I Shouldn't."
