[.ca] Prayers on My Pillow: Inspiration for Girls on the ... (ISBN 0345426738)

This is a book of poetry for your daughter's inner self.:
I just bought this book for my daughter as a graduation present and she and I have both already read all the poems in it. Now it stays on her pillow! I don't know why these simple poems connect so instantly to the soul, but they seem to touch a cord inside. My daughter, who is 12, has thanked me more for this book than anything I have given her in years. For any girl who is going through an identity crisis, this book is a great help.

This book is a window into the interior life of teenagers!:
If you are a mother and want to know what is going on inside your daughter's heart, read Prayers On My Pillow. Each poem describes the feelings of your daughter and then tells her how to handle them. As a mother of two teen girls, it's like having a therapist at their bedside and at mine. Buy it if you want to continue to connect with your daughters.

Simplistic in style but a delite to read:
When I first saw this book, I passed it by since I am the mom of two boys. The next time I saw it, I was looking for a gift for a friend with three teenage daughters.(Her copy is well worn and she's buying extra's to give as gifts) Thumbing thru it, I returned to buy a copy for myself. "Dreams on Your Pillow" is inspirirational for any parent of teens and can be applied to boys,also, as they take the journey to manhood.

A great gift for the young lady in your life!:
Celia Straus wrote this snappy little book for her daughters, and it shows a mother's love. Each page contains a small "prayer" written for a teenage girl, all of them dealing with courage and becoming (at least that's how a father sees it :-). All of them are written in enchanting verse, though not all of them are necessarily directed towards God. For example, on page 103, there is "I am not helpless/I am not weak/I will not shatter/I will not weep/I stand alone/Yet I stand strong/I can be me/Without being wrong." Overall, I found this to be a wonderful little book, a great gift for the young lady in your life!

A Real Source of Comfort and Encouragement for Girls:
I purchased this book for 12 and 10 year old daughters. I thought that perhaps we could read a prayer each night as a devotion and that it would give us an opportunity to talk about issues in their lives. It has done that and more. My oldest daughter now refers to it frequently, whenever she needs a lift or a little extra encouragement. I also purchased the sequel and I rate it equally well. I have given this book as gifts to my daughter's friends for their 13th birthday, and they have all loved it.
