First Prayers by Troy Howell...R&G!

I have a lovely children's book to tell you about today that would make the perfect addition to an Easter Basket.  First Prayers, illustrated by Troy Howell is a beautiful collection of prayers and psalms to help you and your child celebrate the world.  Here is the scoop...

This lavish, inspiring collection of prayers will encourage young children to give thanks for the good things in their lives. Encompassing both Biblical excerpts and psalms as well as more secular hymns to nature, family, and love, First Prayers features captivating, accessible illustrations by award-winning artist Troy Howell. In addition to traditional prayers, there are classic poems written by William Blake (“Little Lamb, who made thee?”), Robert Browning (“The year's at the spring”), Samuel Taylor Coleridge (“He prayeth well, who loveth well”), and others.

This book is a such a sweet collection and perfect for children of all ages.  My daughter loves the simple bedtime verses and prayers and I really enjoy sharing them with her.  Our favorite is credited to an "Old New England Sampler" and reads...

God bless all those that I love,

God bless all those that love me.

God bless all those that love those that I love,

And all those that love those that love me.

The entire book is filled with sweet verses such as this for bedtime, mealtime and anytime.  The accompanying pictures by Troy Howell are stunning with a softness and beauty which matches the words.  This book is a real treasure and would make a very thoughtful gift.  You can pick up your copy today on Amazon...
