Whimsically illustrated with pen and ink, this book contains prayers for morning, midday, and evening; prayers throughout the Church year; and prayers for all sorts of occasions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this book is the belief that prayer shapes our lives and should be accessible and meaningful for children. The prayers in this book are called \"common\" for a variety of reasons; like the Book of Common Prayer, it seeks to provide a language, form, and theology that binds Episcopalians in shared prayer. In addition, prayers reflect themes with which children are commonly familiar, like home, school, and camps. Most of all, these prayers are held in common-always done within God's holy community that includes family and friends, the living and the dead, saints and sinners, angels, archangels, and the company of heaven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available in Spanish.
