Fresh, exuberant, and direct, these poems and prayers speak to everyday concerns of young children. From traditional prayers to excerpts from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible to poems newly written by Ms. Knowlton--the book bursts with energy and joy and hope, while also acknowledging times of sadness and fear in the lives of children. The fabric collage illustrations perfectly capture the spirit of the book in simple, striking images. The beautifully-patterned fabrics add a richness and highly original note to this very engaging collection.
