When I got to the first picture of the Holy Trinity, everyone had a comment: 'That one is God the Father, that one is God the Son, and there is the Holy Spirit!' They then had a mini discussion about what the Holy Spirit was doing for Chris in the picture before we carried on with the story. As I read the last line, all three asked if I could read the next story about Chris! They loved Curly the tortoise too!" Wendy Fannon, mother and homeschooler "A Prayer from the Heart is a wonderful tale of friendship and trust in our all-loving God. The beautiful images and descriptions of the Blessed Trinity that are depicted throughout the story help to explain to children the attributes of the three Divine Persons in a very concrete way. I thoroughly recommend this book to families who are wishing to grow in their faith and love of God." Madeleine Carroll, mother and author of faith-filled children's books, including Ephraim's Gladness and A Joyful Noise One Silent Night "Making friends can be difficult for children.

This sweet coming-of-age book by Tammy Fernando teaches children that God not only hears all our prayers but also delights in answering them." Allia Zobel Nolan, bestselling author of God Made Us Just Right, What I Like About You, and more.

Carolyn Astfalk, author of contemporary Catholic fiction Testimonies from ChildrenJoy (age 5) said that the story is wonderful! She liked when Chris wants to dance with Shani and when Zanna dresses up. She also liked the characters and Curly the tortoise. Lucy (age 9) noticed the Trinity on each page.
