Prayers to the Little Ones

Book Synopsis: "While many adults remember and can recite the nursery rhymes of Mother Goose, very few of us remember many childhood prayers except:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."

The key to our remembering a prayer is the fact that it is set in rhyme…. In creating this book of children's prayers, I have chosen to work with rhyme. This allows the prayers to be easily memorized by both parent and child…. It is my hope that this book reflects both the spirit and feel of traditional children's spiritual works as well as the understandings that many modern parents have within their own spiritual practices." ~Julia Cameron

"Creativity is an ancient spiritual path…I am unable to differentiate the creative from the spiritual experience." ~Julia Cameron

In the tradition of her bestsellers The Artist's Way, The Vein of Gold, Blessings, and Heart Steps, Julia Cameron now awakens the creativity in us all with this imaginative and spiritual collection that is a natural extension of her art. Cameron's artistic spirit, which made The Artist's Way a transcendent work, is thoroughly on display here. Utilizing the tools of rhyme, humor, and careful observation, Prayers for the Little Ones subtly teaches life lessons--providing inspiration for all generations.

If you want to imbue your children with spirituality, this collection of forty-eight prayers/poems is ideal. It is separated into three categories--prayers for young children, prayers for school children, and ecumenical religious prayers for children from both age groups. These categories make it easy for you to discuss with your children the many different belief systems in religion today.

Prayers for the Little Ones is a unique volume that only Julia Cameron could create. If you loved The Artist's Way, you and your children will love Prayers for the Little Ones.
