In
this delightful book for children, Peter tries to find his own
special place for prayer. He is inspired by his mom who is in her
very own prayer room. He looks in the kitchen, thinking he may have
found a spot where he can take a snack and drink and talk to God. But
clanging pans are noisy and maybe the kitchen will smell like
broccoli!
With
simple rhyming verse we follow Peter to his tent but it is dark. He
finds his tire swing is too distracting with noise and animals running around. His tree house looks good as he would be closer to
God, but it is so high. He searches more places and wonders where God
will hear him.
His
dad has the answer. God will hear Peter anywhere and any time.
There
are extra features in this book, including a Parent Connection. A
parent can use the suggestions on that page to lead their little one
in a directed discussion about prayer. There is also a collection of
stickers so kids can identify when they prayed and when God answered.
A large Prayer Poster provides ample space to write prayers and
attach the stickers appropriately.
This
book is a great one to help children understand prayer and begin the
habit of writing down their prayers. This book was inspired by the
recently released War Room movie.
My
rating: 5 stars.
