Teaching Kids How to Pray: Christy Hooper and Jonathan Hooper Share the Heart Behind Pray Pals This week on The Bible for Kids Podcast, hosts Tricia Goyer and Mike Nawrocki welcome authors Christy Hooper and Jonathan Hooper to talk about their new Christian children’s book, Pray Pals: When We Pray, What Do We Say? This engaging and faith-building storybook helps children learn how to pray using Jesus’ example from the Lord’s Prayer. Designed for young readers ages 3 and up, Pray Pals introduces kids to prayer through four lovable characters, each representing a key part of the simple and memorable P.R.A.Y. method: Praise, Repent, Ask, and Yield. Through imaginative storytelling, rhymes, and colorful illustrations, children discover how to talk to God in ways that are meaningful and personal. Parents, grandparents, and ministry leaders will appreciate how this creative Christian teaching tool makes prayer approachable and memorable. Each character—Poppy, Rainy, Airy, and Yessy—helps children understand one aspect of prayer while connecting directly to Jesus’ teaching in the Lord’s Prayer. This beautifully illustrated Christian picture book features: • Fun, engaging rhymes that help kids remember how to pray • Bright, immersive illustrations that capture children’s attention • Built-in moments that encourage families to pause and pray together • The full text of the Lord’s Prayer, helping children connect story and Scripture Pray Pals is an ideal resource for Christian families, Sunday school teachers, and children’s ministry leaders who want to help kids develop a lifelong habit of prayer and a deeper relationship with God. Families can also continue the journey with the companion books, each focusing on one Pray Pals character and a specific element of prayer, helping children grow even deeper in their understanding of how to pray. ------------------------------------------------------ The Bible for Kids is now a 501 (c) (3) non-profit, and we'd love to have you join us in our mission of reaching kids with the message of the Bible.
