Are you looking for an easy way to teach your young children how to talk with Jesus throughout the day?

How Our Family Prays Each Day is a read-aloud book for children ages 4 to 8 that emphasizes the importance of praying and spending time with God each day.

This 32-page hardcover book includes charming, full-color illustrations that depict eight-year-old Marty and his family--parents Joseph and Maria, siblings Zelie and Baby Lou, and their pet pelican, Pascha--as they find reasons to pray throughout their day.

From their first "Good morning, God!" to their final bedtime cuddle, the family will help your children learn an important spiritual lesson: We can talk to God whenever we need him--like before a game or test, or when someone is hurt or struggling--not just during Mass or family prayer time. The book also includes a prayer for your family to say together when you're done reading.

How Our Family Prays Each Day was written by psychotherapist Gregory K. Popcak, illustrated by Jacob Flores-Popcak, and developed by the Catholic HŌM (Households of Mission) program at the Peyton Institute for Domestic Church Life at Holy Cross Family Ministries.
