Charming 1945 first edition of A Prayer for Little Things by Eleanor Farjeon, beautifully illustrated by Elizabeth Orton Jones. Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, this children’s classic pairs Farjeon’s lyrical verse with Jones’s delicate color drawings of birds, children, and nature — a heartfelt celebration of small blessings.
The book reflects the golden age of mid-century children’s illustration, created the same year Jones won the Caldecott Medal. A delightful collectible for lovers of vintage children’s books and illustration art.
