Grandad's Prayers of the Earth

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by P. J. Lynch. Grandad explains the different ways all living things--trees, rocks, streams, and human beings--can pray. Only when the narrator is older does he understand his grandfather's words; young readers may also find the concepts somewhat difficult and the lyrical, metaphorical text overlong. Nevertheless, the book, illustrated with sentimental but vivid paintings, will be useful for starting discussions about prayer.
