"This emotion-filled book is designed for parents and anyone who talks with children, but we suspect it will also guide and inform the spiritual practices of enthusiasm and being present in any adult willing to wade in."
—Spirituality & Practice

“Inclusive, inviting, and thoroughly innovative, Jennifer Grant’s Sing, Wrestle, Spin is a lovely invitation for children to explore myriad ways to pray. A gentle, creative exploration that will be welcomed by every family of faith.”
—Glenys Nellist, author of the Love Letters from God, Snuggle Time, and Good News series

“Sing, Wrestle, Spin holds out its hands to readers of all ages, urges us to let go of our fear and self-consciousness, and invites us to dance.”
—Laura Alary, author of Read, Wonder, Listen: Stories from the Bible for Young Readers

“These pages of beautiful wisdom expressed in age-appropriate language and stories had me tapping my toes. Here you will find spiritual formation for real, flesh-and-blood families and children who want to bring their entire loud, complicated, messy, fearfully and wonderfully made selves to God.”
—Catherine McNiel, author of Long Days of Small Things: Motherhood as a Spiritual Discipline

“The ideas invite children to bring wonder, creativity, and play to the practice of prayer. I’ll be recommending this book to every parent, Christian educator, and pastor I know.”
—Traci Smith, author of Little Prayers for Everyday Life
