More thoughts:
Once upon a time I wouldn’t have picked up this book, but the idea of having written prayers is growing on me!
I think if I was given this book when my children were little, I would have placed it in a book holder and used each prayer during the day, maybe over breakfast? I would change it when I remembered, and gradually we’d work our way through the book.
I love how each prayer is only about 20 words, and use language which is simple but not simplistic.
e.g. Q:
Quiet and alone
but you are with me.
I can talk to you.
Fill me with your peace.
And honestly the mice are seriously cute!
This book won’t very likely teach a child the alphabet, but the format is a lovely one to say prayers with young children which are meaningful both to the adult and the child.
