A worry too big for bedtime. A prayer he doesn't know how to say. And the gentle truth that changes everything: you don't need perfect words to talk to God.
Tomorrow is Sprout's first big, brave day - and at bedtime, the worry grows and grows. He's heard he can talk to God about anything... but he doesn't know how. His words feel too small, too messy, too wobbly. Then he remembers something his mama said - "You don't need fancy words. God just loves to hear from you." - and Sprout whispers his very first prayer.
The worry doesn't magically disappear. But Sprout feels held, a little less alone, and drifts off knowing he was never alone at all.
Sprout Learns to Pray is a warm, non-preachy bedtime story that gently introduces prayer to little hearts - made for the child who freezes at "I don't know what to say," the worrier who needs comfort, and any family looking for a first prayer book that feels welcoming rather than heavy. Written for ages 3 to 7, with soft, cozy illustrations built for snuggling up at bedtime.
