SHORT BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Targeted to children four to eight, That’s When I Talk to God mirrors the day of the typical child, creating an opportunity for readers to put the practices in the story to use in their own lives. Through beautiful illustrations and an engaging, familiar character, readers can relate to That’s When I Talk to God. Children will learn to go to God with their fears, their joys, their questions, and their desires. They will also learn the hows, whens, and whys of praying to the Lord in a way they can easily apply to their own experiences. And adults will be reminded to communicate the benefit, simplicity, and beauty of prayer.

One Blessed Mamma's thoughts: What a CUTE book. The illustrations are so gorgeous. And I LOVE the real life ways the authors show children how to pray to God not just at bed time or meal time, but all the time. Sari, my 6 year old, thought it was great and begged to read it over and over.  I'd definitely recommend it.
