A Child’s Book of Graces - Tapa dura

This warm and appealing collection of 28 table graces makes an attractive gift, prize or award for children aged 4-8. The illustrations are derived from the well-received Lion Treasury of Children's Prayers but the selection of graces is unique to this book. There are graces for different times of day, for meals with families and friends, graces from different cultures and graces from long ago. `For every cup and plateful Lord make us truly grateful'
