Why read it?
1 author picked Sparrow's Prayer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not every person prays the same. It’s not helpful to teach children that the only way to pray is with eyes closed, heads bowed, and words uttered.
Children are all different – they learn different, and they express themselves different. This book teaches kids that you can pray in a number of different ways, especially the ones that come most naturally to you. Prayer can be done in word, dance, song, service, and so on. If you want to teach your kids about prayer, this is an excellent resource.
From Victoria's list on Christian reads for kids that are inclusive and safe.
