Drawing inspiration from the children they met during their tour for When I Talk to God, I Talk About You, Metz and Collins realized how eager children were to talk about their emotions. In response, they crafted this story to help parents introduce prayer to their children as a way to express feelings and process emotions. With its sweet, rhyming text, peaceful illustrations, and gentle and affirming reflections, this accessible picture book will resonate with readers of all faiths.
Chrissy Metz said, “Empowering hearts and minds with the ability to name a feeling and help express them is fundamental in the way we walk through the world. We all want to feel seen and heard. My wish is that this book will create conversation, bolster courage and connectivity through empathy and understanding.” ---from the publisher

"A tender book to help little ones make sense of the emotions around prayer."--Kirkus reviews
When I talk to God every day, there are so many things I want to say. Each day has its own special meaning. When I talk to God, I talk about feelings.
From bear and wolf cubs to raccoons and squirrels, these animals pray to God describing the many feelings they experience each day. With warm and touching illustrations from Lisa Fields, this is a perfect introduction to prayer that allows little ones to learn about emotions through gentle and affirming reflection.
