Summary
Elisabeth Hasselbeck reminds us that little hearts can be anxious too--and that God is always listening to their prayers。
Flashlight Night is narrated by a boy whose parents have used chalkboard paint to create a wall where he and his siblings can write out all their fears， cares， and concerns: Will I learn to blow a bubble？ Tie my shoes？ Stay out of trouble？ Be the friend they choose？
The boy shares the wall with a friend， who records her own prayers。 Later， they visit the chalkboard wall at dusk with a flashlight。 The boy's mom shines the light on some prayers and turns it off at other times， pointing out that their prayers （and the children's faith） are still there， even in the dark， and that God hears every request。
Mom says， Sometimes we see God's yes，
and other times we don't。
But just because it hasn't happened，
doesn't mean it won't。
Even when it's dark and dim
and when we cannot see，
let's choose to place our trust in God。
He's close to you and me。

What a lovely concept - a wall to write out all your hopes and worries。 And to have faith that in time some of your prayers are answered。 This faith-based picture book has universal appeal - rather than bottling up your worries， fears， hopes and dreams， share them， and trust that while some or even most are beyond our control， they may be resolved。 I especially like the idea of checking back to see “the progress” and adding new ones and erasing old ones。

During the world's lockdown， this adventure in trusting God was given a chalk "wall" to heal the changes that none of us could control。 A place to to write what was so "fearful。" An avenue to see our prayers answered or prayer answers still unknown。 This is such a beautiful gift to every parent and child。 Our hopes in providing the best to the next generation can begin with a simple piece of chalk and this book。 Plant the seeds that we are never alone， that God does answer prayer， and that we ca During the world's lockdown， this adventure in trusting God was given a chalk "wall" to heal the changes that none of us could control。 A place to to write what was so "fearful。" An avenue to see our prayers answered or prayer answers still unknown。 This is such a beautiful gift to every parent and child。 Our hopes in providing the best to the next generation can begin with a simple piece of chalk and this book。 Plant the seeds that we are never alone， that God does answer prayer， and that we can use our flashlight in the dark moments to see His handiwork。MrsK https://mrskbookstogo。blogspot。com/ 。。。more

I got this for Charlotte because she has been interested in faith and prayer。 We don't regularly go to church so I thought she would like it and help answer some questions。 I liked that it didn't promise kids that every prayer they sent to God would automatically get answered。 Kids in the book are a variety of races。 I got this for Charlotte because she has been interested in faith and prayer。 We don't regularly go to church so I thought she would like it and help answer some questions。 I liked that it didn't promise kids that every prayer they sent to God would automatically get answered。 Kids in the book are a variety of races。 。。。more

While， I like how the narrator explains you can pray about/for anything， everything modeled in their prayers are selfish things。 Why didn’t praying for relief from natural disasters or for those who are hungry or for those who are can’t find work （etc。， etc。） get included？

This book is a decent tool for teaching prayer and patience。 I think the language and illustrations could have been more engaging。 It seems dated。 Nice that the author included her children as authors too but it doesn’t feel like it was written in current times。

Flashlight Night， by Elisabeth Hasselbeck， is a story told by a little boy about his family， a chalkboard wall， and faith in god。 The main message seems to be that god is always listening and to trust him with your concerns and prayers。 I thought this was a great story with a very touching message。 I also loved the pictures that went along with the story and the idea behind the chalkboard。 I would recommend this book to children ages 3-7 who are looking to grow their faith with god or to underst Flashlight Night， by Elisabeth Hasselbeck， is a story told by a little boy about his family， a chalkboard wall， and faith in god。 The main message seems to be that god is always listening and to trust him with your concerns and prayers。 I thought this was a great story with a very touching message。 I also loved the pictures that went along with the story and the idea behind the chalkboard。 I would recommend this book to children ages 3-7 who are looking to grow their faith with god or to understand the meaning behind their faith。 The book does include diversity within the family。 。。。more
