A young boy wakes. He has forgotten to say his prayers. Outside his window, a beautiful harvest moon illuminates the city around him and its many inhabitants. As the moon slowly makes its way across the heavens, the boy offers a simple prayer for the homeless, the hungry, and others. Critically acclaimed author Tonya Bolden teams up with award-winning illustrator Eric Velasquez to create a richly painted and emotionally complex book that celebrates prayer and kindness while recognizing the diversity of the world around us.
"The great thing about this book is that even though the main character is praying, it has no specific religious persona or aspect emanating from it, so children of any denomination will be able to easily relate to it." —Portland Book Review
"This beautiful book brings prayer to the modern world and hauntingly shows just how needed it is." —Kirkus Reviews
"The diverse people sharing the night, the realistic dilemmas of the people in need, and the handsome presentation should serve well as bedtime reading for families practicing daily prayer." —School Library Journal
"A good starting place for discussion, this will give youngsters a sense of those in need as well as what's worth praying for." —Booklist
