REVIEW
While I am not usually a fan of books based on the lyrics of songs, I love the message in this one so much that I've made an exception. The text of David Archuleta's song, My Little Prayer, is the text of this book. Having heard him sing it in person, I appreciate the beauty and hope offered by the words. Ugolotti's illustrations add to the text by showing a child praying and working toward something he wants. A soccer ball and notice about soccer tryouts shows readers what the child is seeking. As the boy goes to school and observes the current members of the team, he struggles with his faith. But he goes out and does his best to make the team. And while he doesn't make the team, he discovers something else wonderful instead. The profound message here revolves around trusting God especially when one doesn't get what one wanted, because God always knows best and will bless our efforts to do right. A lovely little book perfect for those who want to help their children learn about prayer and faith in God.
