Kirkus Reviews
"Landmann has made a near-magical series of images illustrating [Pope John XXIII's] prayer. . . . Plenty of wisdom here for older children and adults of many faiths."
Booklist (Starred Review)
“Invites children to think about their own lives and give them pointers and signposts. . . . Landmann does an extraordinary job of illustration. The stylized paintings, set against a medieval Mediterranean background, have a weight that matches the importance of the words, but there is still room for whimsy. . . . A gift for the eyes and mind.”
Our Sunday Visitor
“Each reflection is beautiful and thoughtful — a mini examination of conscience to recite in the quiet of morning before the rush of the day begins. And in this children-friendly format, it’s a reflection the whole family easily can take part in.”
Publishers Weekly
“Visually irresistible and inspiring.”
Catholic News Service
"Bimba Landmann brings to life with colorful and intriguing illustrations Pope John XXIII's decalogue of how to live each day humbly, politely and lovingly toward God and others. . . . A keepsake."
