Prayer For a Child

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
