Children's Book Review: The Prayer Who Searched For God



the prayer who searched for God by Andrew Newman
Illustrated By Alexis Aronson

Each book in this series starts with an easy breathing meditation. Snuggle breathing.

Priceless for a family reading together. Four simple sentences and then you are off on your journey!

The uniqueness of drawing a prayer ( a wisp if I may) that the illustrator created is simply magic.

The most extraordinary and creative book, it doesn't even matter your belief, religion, race, age, or where you are geographically. This is a one size fits all children's book. Where a prayer is in search for God and low and behold the identification and how it presents itself is incomparable to any other book we have read. The singular theme is thought-provoking and so much fun for the kids.

It's so light and fluffy. Like candy for the soul!

Illustrated by Alexis Aronson

This book touched us to the core. An unbelievable true animal rescue story.

From a cage to freedom, from anger to bliss.
How the tides can turn when minds are open and humans and animals build a foundation of trust. Don't ever think change is impossible. Human to human, animal to animal, human to animal. As long as we are breathing and receptive, change can always be in our future.

According to Massage Magazine, massage techniques are being used by parents and in hospitals to help infants relax and fall asleep while they're dealing with stressful situations such as gas, colic, colds, and sleeping problems. Massage therapists are now taking steps to teach parents how to properly massage their infants at home, too.
