Grandad's Prayers of the Earth

This beautifully illustrated book for young people tells how a Grandad & his son take walks in the woods together. One day the boy asked his Grandad about prayers. Did you know, boy,Ó Grandad whispered, that trees pray?Ó They reach for the clouds & sun & sky & stars. What else is reaching for heaven but a prayer? Rocks, streams, birds, &, yes, people pray. All in their own ways, all for their own reasons. Finally, the boy asks the hardest question of all. Are our prayers answered, Grandad?Ó And one day, after his Grandad is gone, after many, many prayers, after the boy is grown, he finds the answer to his own question. The author & illustrator have created a picture book that, like a prayer, may change you forever.
