Deb says: A friend asked me to write a kid's prayer book that was accessible, positive, and not preachy. A big task for a little book, but she says I did it! My son Jean loves hunting for the ladybugs in the artwork.

Children love to play, so what better way to teach them about prayer than by using poems about playing and praying? Charming verses teach toddlers about God's presence and God's blessings in the midst of games, hugging dolls, splashing in puddles, sleeping with a teddy bear, and other activities young children enjoy.

Thanks for muddy puddle days
Splishy, squishy, grimy grub.
Splashy outside, splashy inside
Thanks for bubbles in my tub.

A thick little board book with playful prayers and delightful paintings. In this bath scene, the cat is curled up beside the tub under a little umbrella. The Living Church, Nov. 2002
