"Fryer Brown and Harris gently expand the notion of prayer beyond one of petition, offering reassuring text and warm-hued slice-of-life vignettes . Through it all, the concept emerges as one component of connection to loving community--and 'a gift from God that everyone gets to use. No matter who we are/ or what we do.'" -- Publishers Weekly "Brown's quietly empowering verse offers a multifaceted, child-friendly exploration of the topic . No specific church denominations are mentioned, allowing a variety of Christian readers to see their experiences reflected here. A quiet, feel-good prayer in and of itself." -- Kirkus Reviews "Prayer is explained through the text; the author defines it as encompassing more than words spoken. Prayer also includes actions, such as sharing with others, providing comfort, sharing hope, and even practicing mindfulness .

The illustrations, in a pastel palette, appear to be colored pencil on paper, depicting heartwarming everyday family scenes of time at the breakfast table, visits to aging grandparents' homes, time spent at church, and bonding time between sisters." -- School Library Journal.
