The pictures are darling and the poetry and lovely is well。 Honestly though？ I feel like it's more of a book for parents than it is for kids。 It feels like a good reminder to be constantly praying for our children - in the mundane moments and during more memorable times， about all aspects of their personalities and their lives - more than a children's storybook。 It also feel like one of those books that's great to give as a gift because of how pretty it is and how meaningful the message is vs。 b The pictures are darling and the poetry and lovely is well。 Honestly though？ I feel like it's more of a book for parents than it is for kids。 It feels like a good reminder to be constantly praying for our children - in the mundane moments and during more memorable times， about all aspects of their personalities and their lives - more than a children's storybook。 It also feel like one of those books that's great to give as a gift because of how pretty it is and how meaningful the message is vs。 being a book that kids want to return to again and again to have read to them。 。。。more

I really only have one problem。 The very first line is: "from the moment I saw you， I started to pray"。 Personally I started to pray for my child before ultrasound or after they were born。 I also know others who started to pray for their adopted child， before they met them。 So both cases prior to 'seeing' the child。 But other then that I loved the message of the book。 I really only have one problem。 The very first line is: "from the moment I saw you， I started to pray"。 Personally I started to pray for my child before ultrasound or after they were born。 I also know others who started to pray for their adopted child， before they met them。 So both cases prior to 'seeing' the child。 But other then that I loved the message of the book。 。。。more

A delightful children's book！ I find that quality children's literature is often hard to find。 Matthew Paul Turner has a gift for writing diverse stories that I believe any family can enjoy。 His careful choice of words gives the reader a fun experience while reading an inspiring story。 The illustator， Kimberley Barnes， portrays colorful， whimsical diversity in each beautiful page that children will enjoy exploring！ A delightful children's book！ I find that quality children's literature is often hard to find。 Matthew Paul Turner has a gift for writing diverse stories that I believe any family can enjoy。 His careful choice of words gives the reader a fun experience while reading an inspiring story。 The illustator， Kimberley Barnes， portrays colorful， whimsical diversity in each beautiful page that children will enjoy exploring！ 。。。more

This was a very cute story that my kids absolutely love。 It shows them that we， as parents， pray for them every day。 It helps them see how God should be prevalent in their lives。 Excellent illustrations and story。

WHEN I PRAY FOR YOU turns preconceived ideas about prayer books on its head。 The thoughtful prayers of a mother follows her child through growth milestones all the way into adulthood。 I loved reading this the second time around even more。。。

This is a wonderful book that parents should add to their home library。 It's quite lovely and I think it will resonate with a lot of moms and dads as they read it out loud to their little ones。 This is a wonderful book that parents should add to their home library。 It's quite lovely and I think it will resonate with a lot of moms and dads as they read it out loud to their little ones。 。。。more

Just like the other two titles in this series， 'When I Pray for You' is filled with affirmation for little ones。 Matthew Paul Turner's heartfelt words capture the universal hopes， dreams and longings that every parent has for their child。 Simply a beautiful book。 Just like the other two titles in this series， 'When I Pray for You' is filled with affirmation for little ones。 Matthew Paul Turner's heartfelt words capture the universal hopes， dreams and longings that every parent has for their child。 Simply a beautiful book。 。。。more

I love the book。 It's beautifully illustrated and the faith and love expressed in rhyme reflect the feelings of devout parents， godparents， grandparents and others who want their little ones to know that they are always in their prayers。 Because my granchildren are under three， I would just show them the pictures and talk bout how much I enjoy watching them grow and play and remembering them in prayer。 However， the author's thoughts and words about the children growing up will be better understo I love the book。 It's beautifully illustrated and the faith and love expressed in rhyme reflect the feelings of devout parents， godparents， grandparents and others who want their little ones to know that they are always in their prayers。 Because my granchildren are under three， I would just show them the pictures and talk bout how much I enjoy watching them grow and play and remembering them in prayer。 However， the author's thoughts and words about the children growing up will be better understood by children who are older and can read well。 。。。more

One of my favorites to read to children， it also has an endearing message for people during important transitions: graduations， next steps， etc。

This book is an absolute delight， from the poetic writing style that is a joy to read aloud to your children， to the gorgeous illustrations。 It's become my go-to for a baby shower gift （I like to give this instead of a card and write a short note inside as a keepsake！） and I can't recommend it enough！ This book is an absolute delight， from the poetic writing style that is a joy to read aloud to your children， to the gorgeous illustrations。 It's become my go-to for a baby shower gift （I like to give this instead of a card and write a short note inside as a keepsake！） and I can't recommend it enough！ 。。。more

I loved this book。 I read it over and over again to my children and wanted to buy it for all the other special children in my life。 It goes through the ups and downs of a child's life and reminds them that they are not alone。 They have someone behind them no matter what is going on who will support them and pray for them。 It rhymes and is so easy to read。 It is such an encouraging book that helps kids know how loved they are。 I loved this book。 I read it over and over again to my children and wanted to buy it for all the other special children in my life。 It goes through the ups and downs of a child's life and reminds them that they are not alone。 They have someone behind them no matter what is going on who will support them and pray for them。 It rhymes and is so easy to read。 It is such an encouraging book that helps kids know how loved they are。 。。。more
