The Prayer

This is a poem with beautiful illustrations. This book had me in tears. This is the story of an ophaned child alone on the streets on Christmas. He looks through windows of other homes and wonders why he can't have food, presents, or a warm place to shield him from the cold.

 

I will never forget reading this. I read this a week ago and it has still yet to stay out of my thoughts. I will admit that I spoil my kids. They have everything (tablets, computers, dirt bikes...they ask, I get it). They do work for it though; They are both straight A students and help out a lot around the house. My daughter read this and has since been much more thankful for all that she has. I gave her 20 dollars to spend on herself and she hopped on her bike, road to the store, and bought a bag of groceries for our neighbor who has been off work for a couple weeks for medical reasons. I watched her set the bag on their porch then ring there door bell and run off. I am so proud of her.
