Loyal Kids Book Of Everyday Prayers

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.

Helpful “Did you know?” sections throughout the book teach kids about prayer and guide them in their exploration of this faith-filled practice. Charming prayers written by kids themselves, further encourage readers to approach prayer as a special way of talking one-on-one with God.

Loyola Kids Book of Everyday Prayers offers a variety of prayers to guide children in their everyday lives. From the Hail Mary to the Breastplate of St. Patrick to a little boy’s prayer for his new baby sister, the prayers in this book are a wonderful introduction to the world of prayer.

Ages 8 to 12.
