Summary: the lost star,it shoud be 5
Comment: Sabrina Dearborn's collection of children's blessings is wide ranging ,sensitive, and exquisitely illustrated by Olwyn Whelan.I purchased it for a christening gift, and was initially impressed with it's multicultural approach...until I read the "Halloween Blessing",written by Sabrina Dearborn herself.Feeling slightly uncomfortable with the phrases invoking dead spirits to rise up and bless the living,I decided to find out more about the author.A quick net search found her a speaker at last year's Festival of the Goddess in Glastonbury,England.The festival appears to be a well organized celebration of women and wicca,with pentagrams and "circles of thirteen".It was difficult not to extrapolate that Ms.Dearborn is a sympathizer,if not a follower,and while wicca itself is a valid and recognized religion in the UK,I feel that to present this otherwise lovely book at a profound Christian sacrement would be inappropriate.

Summary: Soul Food for Families
Comment: If you want to nourish your own and your child(ren)'s sense of wonder and gratitude for life, this is a book you will want to read together again and again. Beautiful illustrations by Olwyn Whelan frame a wonderful selection of prayers chosen from traditional and non-traditional sources. The book is a visual feast and the words will stay with you and your children to make your days richer. There are words to bless your everyday life and special occasions. There are words that make you feel at one with all of creation. There are words that speak to your inner life and feelings.

I thank Sabrina Dearborn for creating a book that bestows a blessing as it teaches appreciation for all life. You will love the feelings and values that are expressed and you may find that you want to read more from the authors and traditions represented.

The book is written for young children but you will want to keep reading it and using the blessings even as the children grow. All truly good books for children have a lot to say to adults as well.
