Loyola Kids Book of Everyday Prayers

by: Catherine Odell
and Margaret Savitskas
Through this delightful, heartfelt collection of prayers, children learn how easy it is to pray every day. Loyola Kids Book of Everyday Prayers encourages young readers to pray and to create their own prayers while learning about saints, biblical figures, and other devoted Christians.

Authors Catherine Odell and Margaret Savitskas introduce children to the world of prayer with an easy-to-grasp metaphor. They draw parallels between dancing and praying and explain that in the same way that everyone can dance, everyone can pray. By listening for the music of God's love in our hearts, the authors say, praying can be as easy and as energizing as dancing the hokey-pokey.

Thematically divided into nine chapters, the book offers prayers for all occasions and seasons of the year. Included are saints' prayers, prayers from the Mass, the authors' own prayers, and prayers written by kids. The book ends with an opportunity for readers to write their own prayers of praise, thanksgiving, sorrow, asking, or blessing.

Ages 8-12 years.
