Discover the diverse ways people around the world pray—through movement, stillness, and connection. A beautiful celebration of spirituality and human expression. A culturally rich celebration of prayer practices worldwide, fostering diversity and connection. This timely book encourages children to appreciate spirituality in all forms. People have prayed for centuries, and it is a significant component of most, if not all, religions. It is also a powerful part of people’s lives who are not part of a religion. Many people believe that paying attention to the world around them, and to their relationship with it, is a form of prayer. Prayer in its myriad forms conveys a relationship and a communication with something mysterious, something within or something beyond ourselves. Available in both picture book and board book.
