Prayer for a Child

32 pp. | Simon | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-9610-1 $9.99
New ed. (1944, Macmillan)
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Orton Jones. Winner of the 1945 Caldecott Medal, the volume is somewhat dated by the illustrations (hairstyles, stereotyped ethnic costumes), but thanks to the simplicity and lack of sentimentality in both prayer and accompanying art, it still works. This paper-over-board edition is notable for its bargain price.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano | Horn Book Magazine Issue: January, 1945
