A Child's Book of Blessings and Prayers offers prayers for every day -giving thanks, seeking help, and expressing care for the earth and all living things. Here are words to bless the morning, share at bedtime, honor a birthday, even give thanks for a friend next door. These graces, poems, prayers, and blessings are drawn from around the world - from Hindu, Sioux, Islamic, Jewish, Christian, and Unitarian Universalist traditions, to name only a few. Beautifully illustrated in full color.
From the book:
At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face into mine.
Breathe into me.
-Rumi
Thank you for my friend next door;
And my friend across the street,
And please help me to be a friend
To each and every one I meet.
-Anonymous
