Author: Rachel Field
Illustrator: Elizabeth Orton Jones
Why Selected: Award Winner
Literary Merit: Just a well put together book as it starts with an entire read of the prayer and then uses illustrations to re-tell the prayer line by line with a picture for each line. A good example of how an illustration can really help tell the story in a book.
Share: Might be difficult to offer in public schools. But it is a read aloud.
Appeal: Grades K-3
Awards: Caldecott - 1945
