Why Do We Pray? - (Toddler Theology) by Lauren Groves (Board Book)

About the Book

This question-and-answer-style board book helps toddlers understand how and why we communicate with God and features easy-to-memorize truths for their budding questions about prayer.

Book Synopsis

Even toddlers can learn why we pray!

It's never too early to help kids learn about how and why we talk to God. This book from the Toddler Theology series teaches toddlers and preschoolers to answer basic questions about prayer, the Holy Spirit, and how we can talk to God. Children will learn that Jesus sent Christians the Holy Spirit, how the Holy Spirit helps us talk to God, and how we can listen for God talking to us.

Much like a catechism, this question-and-answer-style board book helps toddlers understand prayer at a basic but rich level. Each spread uses beautiful illustrations to help kids pair the question's answer with bright, memorable images. The questions are simple, and the answers are short and easy to memorize, giving even toddlers the tools they need to answer their budding questions about theology.
