My thoughts:
  Praying parents who are guiding their young children to experience daily prayer will love and identify with this precious book. It takes me, personally, back to the bygone days when my family was young and we had prayer time of an evening and at meals. We tried to also teach our children that they could and should talk to God (pray) any time and about anything.

That is also the theme of this book. It isn't a "how to" book but one that relates a precious little girl who is inquisitive about talking to God. She has parents who help her see how she can talk to God and say what is in her heart and mind. 

And she does just this. And she begins to experience many things she can say to God.

I think the book is a sweet treasure and highly recommend it.


About the book: By popular poet, writer, and speaker Tanner Olson, All the Things I Say to God explores the profound world of prayer and shows children that heartfelt conversations with God can occur anywhere, anytime, and about anything.

Abby has been praying with her parents for as long as she can remember. They pray together before meals and before bed, on good days and tough days. Then one day Abby asks a simple “Mom, can I pray to God all by myself?”

Follow Abby on her journey of faith as she discovers how to express her gratitude, ask questions, pray for others, and use silence to communicate with God. Led by her own curiosity, she finds out that you can pray for anything and everything—God’s love knows no bounds.


All the Things I Say to God is....

  • Children with budding faith who want to know more about how to talk to God.
  • Families who want to start conversations with children about prayer.
  • Churches and ministries with missions to develop the spiritual lives of children. 
  • Young readers will be captivated by this story as they realize that, like Abby, they too can talk to God about anything, all by themselves.
