Prayers and blessings for bedtime
"lovely, thoughtfully designed collection to help settle the little ones for the night." "This is one of those books that can be read quietly for a soothing night-night, both for adult and child." --Marco Eagle This offers a peaceful way to say goodnight that should appeal to many parents and children. --Booklist "This book of prayers, many of which are original, focus on the winding down of the day, offering words of comfort and thankfulness as nighttime approaches. The final poem greets a new day. The lovely artwork invites children in." --Booklist
