This beau­ti­ful­ly illus­trat­ed book of well­craft­ed poems is not a ​“Jew­ish book” but rather a book of prayers of praise and grat­i­tude to God — all based on psalms. Each poem is meant to lead the child gen­tly through the week. The days of the week are divid­ed into three time peri­ods (“the divine hours”) when chil­dren should pray: ​“Wak­ing Up,” ​“Rest­ing,” and ​“End­ing My Day.” The themes in each poem will appeal to young chil­dren. Nature poems about ​“clouds that drift and birds that fly” as well as about life in the city are spread out on gen­er­ous pages with lots of white space. The issue Jews will have with this book is that the author has cho­sen to make Shab­bat invis­i­ble. On the pages devot­ed to Fri­day night and Sat­ur­day, Shab­bat is nev­er men­tioned. With its love­ly pas­tel illus­tra­tions and attrac­tive design and lay­out, this book might be used for very young chil­dren as an intro­duc­tion to prayer, and even to God. But those look­ing for a Jew­ish book won’t find it. Ages 2 – 5.
