No matter how many books I read, children’s book always remain my very favorite, especially those that are set to rhyme. The first time I picked up This Little Prayer of Mine, I was excited to see the rhyming verse. I read it to myself the first time through, and shared it with my soon-to-be 4-year-old the second time. I enjoyed this little book both times. Though the target audience is young children, there’s a message in this book that all of us can learn from. I really appreciated This Little Prayer of Mine and will gladly add it to the children’s book collection at my house.  This book would make a great book for the little one(s) in your life.
