Anytime, Anywhere: A Little Boy's Prayer

ANYTIME, ANYWHERE A LITTLE BOY'S PRAYER MARCUS HUMMON YOUNG READERS AGES 4-7 Atheneum Books Rating: 5 Enchantments After Isaac's two books at reading time, he sits with his dad for his nightly prayers. He has a lot on his mind and a lot of questions. As with most young boys, he doesn't want to miss out on anything, even if it is at the sacrifice of bedtime. Isaac wants to make sure his prayer is doesn't leave out anything or anyone. From Grandma Anne who is no longer there to pray with him, to the bugs that crawl on the ground; from the homeless and all those in the hospital and even in jail, Isaac makes sure they make his prayer list. His questions about God caring for those he doesn't even know are heart warming to the innocence of a child. I believe ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, A LITTLE BOY'S PRAYER is a perfect book for the whole family to read together. It opens our eyes and minds to who else is out there that need prayer, even a prayer as big as world peace to a big God who can handle it all. I believe it will encourage the young to start saying their prayers and to know that God is there for everyone, no matter where and no matter what their condition of living is. I would recommend this to any family starting out their libraries for their children. Marcus Hummon as a country music songwriter and theatrical composer has really hit the mark with answers to some of the questions children have about prayer. Barb Soden ENCHANTING REVIEWS April 2009

A wonderful love story of a father, son and the spiritual bond between them. It took me back many years when I would read to my two youngsters. The story is simple on the surface, but profound in its real message. Beautifully illustrated. A wonderful book for children and their parents.
