For sixty years children and parents have shared in the joy and inspiration of Rachel Field and Elizabeth Orton Jones's Prayer for a Child. This new edition commemorates the diamond anniversary of the award-winning modern classic's original publication.

From the lost manuscripts of renowned children's author Brown, this bedtime story is based on the classic New England Sampler prayer, God Bless the Moon and God Bless Me. The poetic verse of the text shows a child praying for God's blessing on children in different parts of the world and themselves as the moon shines down on them all.

Prayers are read to little ones at bedtime.

A series of prayers for all occasions help children celebrate and give thanks for the world around them.
