Publishers Weekly

...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.

- Margaret Bush, Simmons College, Boston, 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.

- Ilene Cooper, Booklist

In an unnamed city at night, a young boy wakes and gets out of bed to say his prayers. Outside his window a beautiful amber moon illuminates the city around him and all its inhabitants: a homeless woman bundled up on a bench, the father of a soldier who's been deployed overseas, an ill patient in the hospital and parents who cannot afford to feed their children. The boy says a prayer for all those around him and every member of his family, followed by a promise that he won't forget to pray again the next night. Critically acclaimed author Tonya Bolden teams up with award-winning illustrator Eric Velasquez to create a beautiful and unique picture book that celebrates the act of prayer and gratitude while highlighting the diversity of the world around us.
