Marian Wright Edelman's collection of prayers has an immediate, honest voice that touches on issues that children and teens face in today's increasingly complicated world. Grouped according to themes such as hope, gratitude, and help, and filled with wisdom and insight, these prayers offer our children a powerful opportunity to connect with their own spirituality. Bryan Collier, recipient of the Caldecott Honor Medal, among other honors, captures the vibrancy of our multicultural world in his stunning collage artwork.
