Deep Breath, Little Whisper: Praying Every Little Word Your Heart Wants to Say

Help your child discover the importance of talking to God during all types of situations with this picture book that explores the use of breath prayers. Throughout, kids will learn that each of their direct praises, quick thanks, and whispered requests can bring them peace and build a stronger relationship with their heavenly Father.

God loves it when His children talk to Him--and connecting with God can be as easy as using a simple word or phrase. Deep Breath, Little Whisper introduces the idea of breath prayers by using a series of kid-friendly scenarios and engaging text to show young readers how they can have a conversation with God in the moment, wherever they are and however they're feeling. Each example also helps remind them that prayer doesn't have to be big and complex to be meaningful--it just has to come from the heart.

The illustrated book is perfect for:

• read-aloud or prayer time
• introducing breath prayers into your family
• helping children from preschool to early elementary develop a relationship with God through easy-to-remember prayers and prompts
• teaching different types of prayers, including praise and adoration, thanksgiving, intercessory, and confession
• showing kids how they can calm their minds and turn to God no matter what happens
