Grandad's Prayers of the Earth is a touching tale of love.

I have recently discovered the wonderful artwork of P. J. Lynch. I was drawn to the beautiful cover of the book. I am not disappointed by the contents. The story is short but beautiful and the artwork multiplies the message. Beautifully Done!!!!!

An Absolutely Beautiful Book

Grandad's Prayers for the Earth

Heartfelt and warm, without going overboard on the emotions. I especially liked the way this book showed the love of the Grandfather for his grandson and vice versa.

Pure Beauty and Spirit

Truly this is one of the most beautiful children's books I've read in years. The illustrations are gorgeous, capturing both the awesome splendor of nature and the love between the boy and his grandfather. The message is one of spirit, communion with nature, love, and communication. No religious path is specified and none need be. The message this book contains is universal. Ralph Waldo Emerson would have loved it.
