If you're looking for an adorable little book to give as a baptism, first holy communion or other faith-based gift you're in luck! This sturdy little book would make an excellent gift for the special child in your life.

My Little Prayers is a sweet little book of 80+ pages of prayers for little ones. The book is broken down into eight themed sections, which highlight different times of a child’s day. Subjects like mealtime, bedtime, feelings and others are emphasized through prayer.

Some of the prayers are taken from the Bible and others are quotes from a variety of sources. The accompanying illustrations are colorful and cute and are sure to capture the attention of even the smallest child.

This is a sturdy little book, with a nicely padded cover, that should last for years to come. Small children should enjoy having the prayers read to them while they look at the pictures and older children should have no problem reading the book to themselves. 

At just $5.92, My Little Prayers would make a wonderful gift for baptism, first holy communion or just because. The “For, From and Date” page at the beginning of the book makes it easy to personalize for gift-giving. Wonderful!

I Can Learn to Pray by Holly Hawkins Shivers is an Excellent 52-Week Devotional for Children and Their Families

I Can Learn to Pray is designed and written as a 52-week guide for children and their families to strengthen their relationship with God through prayer. The book is divided into seven comprehensive sections, with individual weeks within.

There’s a lovely foreword at the beginning of the book, written by the author’s father, author O.S. Hawkins. Ms. Shivers begins by chatting conversationally with parents to reinforce the importance of praying with our children. From there we go into the process of actually learning to pray.

There’s a wealth of valuable information packed into to this beautiful book. The author is gifted with the ability to explain prayer in terms that even the smallest child can relate to. Yet, she never talks down to her readers. She explains prayer in a variety of kid-friendly ways and uses examples to make her point beautifully. For example, what child doesn’t understand the different ways of communicating – texting, phone calls, sign language, walkie-talkies, etc.? The author uses this concept to explain that prayer is communicating with God.

The accompanying illustrations are adorable and colorful, and are actual prayers in themselves. The book is sturdy and I love that the pages are of excellent, glossy quality. This ensures that I Can Learn to Pray will last a long time. I also appreciate the “To_____ From____” page at the beginning of the book. Perfect for gift giving!

I would highly recommend I Can Learn to Pray to parents, grandparents and others. It would make a wonderful gift for Baptism, First Holy Communion, birthday or just because. At not even $15 it's well worth the money spent! Beautiful!

Book Review of Precious Moments 5-Minute Bedtime Treasury

The Precious Moments series was started by devout Christian, Sam Butcher, over three decades ago. What began as hand drawn artwork to give away as gifts to friends and family has become a full line of iconic works, with a large and faithful following. The artwork is beautiful and highly recognizable – artwork with positive, inspiring and uplifting messages. This newest book is no exception.

 

The 5 Minute Bedtime Treasury contains lovely paraphrased and shortened Bible stories, that are sure to capture the attention of children of almost any age. The illustrations are as gorgeous as any of the Precious Moments artwork. Although the stories may contain words, phrases and scripture that may be difficult for small children to comprehend, they can most definitely be used as conversation starters for parents and grandparents to discuss at bedtime or anytime. I love books that can be used as steppingstones for open dialogue with children and this book certainly fits that category.

This book is of high quality. It’s well-made and sturdy and with a price of just slightly over 10.00 that’s almost unheard of nowadays. I would highly recommend Precious Moments 5 Minute Bedtime Treasury to parents, grandparents or anyone who wishes to share God’s word with the special children in their lives.
