Here a Little Child I Stand

A parent might reach for this book during those quiet, reflective moments before bed or when a child begins asking big questions about the world and our place in it. It serves as a gentle introduction to spirituality through the accessible lens of poetry, helping children find magic in the mundane and a sense of belonging in the wider universe. This collection is less about dogma and more about the universal feelings of gratitude, wonder, and safety. By blending ancient wisdom from the Upanishads and the Old Testament with the playful, observant verses of poets like Langston Hughes and Ogden Nash, the book bridges the gap between the sacred and the everyday. It is perfectly suited for children aged 3 to 8, providing a comforting rhythmic experience for younger listeners while offering deeper themes of interconnectedness for older children. Parents will appreciate how it fosters a spirit of thankfulness and curiosity without being overly preachy or dense.
