No Prayer is Ever Wasted

A story about the power of prayer as viewed through the eyes of a 9-year-old Jewish girl from Queens trying to make sense out of the Covid pandemic we all experienced.

“A wonderful story about the importance of love, family, and faith. How the global pandemic affects a young girl’s life and shapes her experiences with her family, her community, and her love for her faith. The story is appropriate for 8-12-year-old children, and enjoyable for adults who share the book with them.”

— Stephanie C. Sanger, LCSW

“An easy-to-read writing style and a very moving story geared to upper elementary to middle school age children. I think the story touched on many appropriate emotions ranging from trying to understand what Covid and its effects, sadness, unity of family, the need for friendship, and hope.”

— Jerry M. Scheinberg, Ed.D., NJ Licensed Psychologist, NJ Certified School Psychologist, WV Licensed School Psychologist, NJ Director of Special Services (Retired)

“You will thoroughly enjoy this beautiful novella, a heart-warming, relevant, inspiring, useful, and a brilliant springboard for conversations, writings, art, and a doorway into self-reflection. A truly important vehicle for children, teens, siblings, adults, parents, and grandparents. A little something for everyone!”
