Let Us Pray: A Little Kid's Guide to the Eucharist

Let Us Pray: A Little Kid's Guide to the Eucharist

Jennie Turrell walked into All Saintsâ€™ Chapel on Good Friday, when her three-year-old son stopped her in the darkened doorway and quietly whispered, â€œUh-oh.â€ At that moment, she realized that changes in the physical space of the liturgy mattered to him. She had been whispering in his ear during liturgies since he was a baby, but it wasnâ€™t until that day that she knew he had been taking it all inâ€•sights and soundsâ€•all of it. In spite of squawking at inopportune times, crawling in the side aisle or narthex when sermons ran too long, drawing on the bulletin, dropping the heavy Book of Common Prayer on his toes, or standing on chairs, her son was present, aware, and sharing in the Eucharist.

This is how her little book for little hands came to life. Her son was a â€œconsultantâ€ on the book from beginning to end.

An engaging book for children, ages 2 â€“ 8, to follow the liturgy and participate in ways that are appropriate for them
