      This book is suitable for all ages and can engage children in learning about prayer through its short, rhyming poems, making them easy to read and recite. Platt-Gregory presents a playful approach to prayer, encouraging creativity and originality in spiritual conversations, a lesson beneficial for believers of all ages. Alvina Y. Platt-Gregory, a health and physical education teacher at Carroll Robbins Elementary School in Trenton, received the International Poet of Merit Award from the International Society of Poets in March 2002. Her poem "To Thine Own Self Be True," written in memory of her mother shortly after her passing, is included in the collection "The Color of Our Dreams," which features works from a poetry contest. Alvina's poem has been selected for a multi-format release, including a CD and cassette series. She was inspired to write by her second-grade teacher, Mrs. P. Newsome, who encouraged her creativity. The collection is easy to navigate, referencing common Bible stories and well-known prayers familiar to Christian readers. Platt-Gregory's work stands out for its diversity and non-traditional form, making it an enjoyable read.
