Hannah: The Belle of Prayer

This book is about a girl named Rooney who gets picked on by other girls at her school. One day, an angel comes and tells her she can pray to God anytime she has questions about anything. Rooney asks the angel what prayer is. So the angel shows her the story of Hannah in the Bible, who prayed for a son, and finally her prayer was answered. When Rooney learned this story, she felt like she would be able to face the mean girls. It helped her be more confident in herself when other people picked on her, because she knew that God was listening to her.

This book might help people with hard times in their life, if they learn the story of Hannah too. Hannah’s story was presented in a fun way, with Rooney being able to peek through a window and see what Hannah was going through back in Bible times, even though Rooney lived in a different time. The pictures help you imagine what the scene in the Bible might look like. You feel sad for Rooney and for Hannah, but happy when they learn that God is there to listen to them and help them.
