Grandad's Prayers of the Earth

The storyline of this picture book - a grandfather uses a walk in the woods to explain prayer to his grandson - offers important lessons about the reasons and ways to pray. The grandson's understanding of the lessons only becomes clear years later after his grandfather has passed away, and he is again walking through the woods. The watercolor illustrations by P. J. Lynch add depth of meaning to this thought-provoking story by Douglas Wood. Although it is a picture book, the message can be appreciated by all ages.
