When the world gets loud, the soul within every child can forget it has a quiet place to land—leaving them to carry big emotions and changes they don’t yet fully understand. 
In those moments, teaching them to pause, breathe, and pray provides a steady inner anchor—a space to sort feelings, find calm amid the chaos, and remember they are never truly alone. 
And so, onespirited storyteller is helping kids reclaim that sacred inner space, transforming overwhelm into stillness and everyday moments into gentle, meaningful conversations rooted in faith and reflection. 
Children’s Author, Doreen Klein Robinson, joins our John Masiulionis and Little Forrest on Episode #264 of PR From The Heart’s Children’s Books Spotlight Series to share how the devastating fire at Middle Collegiate Church in New York City inspired the release of her new book, A Place to Pray (published by WorthyKids), the extraordinary power of empathy, resilience, and community in uniting faith communities, the importance of championing tolerance and guiding children to become compassionate global citizens, and the vital role children’s books play in shaping values, building belonging, and creating spaces where every child feels safe, seen, and heard—plus much more. 
We encourage you, our friends and neighbors, to support Doreen by getting your copies of A Place to Pray and enjoying this empowering read with your little ones: https://bit.ly/4aQ9tDA.
