Review: Through this collection of poems, a child learns about prayer through watching his father who prays for his family in every situation of this families' life. These poems also deal with the child's feelings about prayer and what he sees his father doing. These poems are good at desribing whatever the situation is and getting to the main point without using so many words that the reader gets lost or bored. (
