I Talk to God About You is a delightful children's book by Sr. M. Gianna Casino that's perfect for young readers. This charming book introduces kids to the wonderful practice of prayer. It highlights how important it is to connect with God by talking and listening, helping children build a personal relationship with Him. The prayers in the book express the hope parents have for their children and encourage little ones to share their thoughts, express gratitude, and ask questions while they pray. It also brings in the lovely idea of Mother Mary as a comforting presence in their lives. With its heartwarming messages, this book inspires children to live lives filled with love and holiness. It also emphasizes that praying before bedtime is important. The interactive elements, like spotting depictions of Mary and the saints in the illustrations, further engage young readers and make learning about prayer both enjoyable and informative.
Sr. M. Gianna Casino's approach in this book is simple yet effective. I like the direct, easy-to-understand style, which is suited for its target audience, making it accessible for children without being overly complex. The pacing is gentle, with no rush to overwhelm readers, which is a good choice in a book about prayer and faith. The illustrations by Yuna Chan are bright and colorful, which helps keep a young audience engaged, and the interactive features add an element of fun. I love how this book warmly introduces some meaningful ideas, like building a relationship with God and understanding Mother Mary's role in the spiritual lives of children. The writing feels sincere and filled with purpose, and the themes are wholesome. I Talk to God About You is a wonderful resource for parents who want to support their kids' spiritual growth, and the uplifting tone makes it such a delightful read for families. As a Catholic, I'm quite impressed with this book.
