I got this devotional for my daughter, 5 years old, who was having a hard time with fears and worries. We already pray together at night and I had already started finding reassuring verses to share with her, but this book goes that extra step to put the ideas in a context that is easy for a young girl to understand. The length is perfect, one page per night that is easily read in a minute or two, headed by a bible verse and then the author's thoughts. The scenarios are gentle, not scary, and they are vague enough to get the idea across without focus on the negative. The devotionals focus on the love and promises of God and his care for us, which is exactly what we were looking for. The facing page of each devotional has ideas for how to extend the idea, and they started out fun, but by the middle of the book these ideas were lengthy games and activities which might be wonderful but which don't fit in to our bedtime idea at all, not helping the kid go to sleep but rather giving me a lot of work to do and the kid a good, long reason to stay up, so I have been editing and only reading those when they work for us. It would be cool if the author put out a book with those ideas for creative and purpose-driven play activities for kids and their parents, maybe a book especially aimed at the different issues kids face and these ideas for addressing them? The artwork is adorable, the messages biblical, the ideas all good even when they don't work for us, and the rhyming little prayers are cute. My daughter is going through a phase of not wanting to pray aloud with me at night like she used to and says she doesn't know what to say, and I am hoping all these simple, good prayers will help her when she feels ready to come up with her own words again.
