Hear, O Little One: In the Morning and In the Evening

Introduce your little one to this sacred prayer. Hear, O Little One: In the Morning and In the Evening takes Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and adapts it in a lyrical way to help young children understand this belief that has been recited in the morning and evening for centuries, including by Jesus.

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Hear, O Little One: In the Morning and In the Evening is the perfect way to start and end your day. This book includes the centuries-old tradition of the Shema, a five-verse passage from the book of Deuteronomy reminding us to love God with all of our heart, soul, and strength.
