Booklist
“Strickland’s hand-printed linoleum block artwork features a multiethnic cast of children involved in a variety of pursuits. Most spreads are set outdoors (with earth tones, reds, and orange hues predominating), and several are frame-worthy, especially the depiction of hands emerging from an ocean to embrace land, trees, animals, a child, rainbows, and the sun, representing “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” Appended with a note about the authors and sources of these prayers (most are available in public domain), this should make a good addition to the young family prayer shelf.”
Publisher’s Weekly
Colored in a creamy, restful palette, Strickland’s linoleum prints are loosely structured over an unfolding day, featuring children around the world heading into church, clasping hands while singing, and enjoying moments of quiet solitude. It’s an eclectic and varied look at the way communities and cultures express praise, gratitude, and blessing.
