This faithful, watercolor-illustrated adaptation brings it to children ages 3 to 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawn almost entirely from Scripture, it weaves together the psalms, the Lord's Prayer, the Gospel, and the ancient prayers of the Hours: the Introduction to Every Hour, the Thanksgiving Prayer, Psalm 50, the Morning Prayer with its psalm sequence, the First and Second Morning Prayers, the full Evening Hour, and the Evening Prayer Absolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the centuries, this steady pattern has formed saints, martyrs, monks and nuns, and families alike. The Psalms in particular have a quiet way of teaching the soul how to pray. This little book gently adapts that ancient treasure for the youngest hearts, lovingly retold in words a child can pray and understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Coptic mom wrote: \"He looks forward to it.
