A Christmas Prayer, written Amy Parker and illustrated by Marijan Ramljak, is a delightful book about one child's prayer the night before Christmas. "So this, my Christmas prayer, is not for toys and dolls -- it's thanking You for Christmas gifts You've given to us all." The child goes on to thank God for different aspects of Christmas: the angel Gabriel, the animals, Mary, Joseph, and of course, Jesus Christ. The illustrations are beautifully done, almost as though a child drew them. This board book is perfect for younger children -- toddlers and preschoolers.
While this book does not actually tell the Christmas story, it reminds our children (and us) of the story in a charming way. And it reminds us (and our children) to be thankful for the little things, not just the big ones. I recommend this book as a wonderful addition to one's library of Christmas books.
While I want to thank Booksneeze for a copy of this book to review, my opinions are my own.
