Compiled by Lee Bennett Hopkins and illustrated by Patricia Henderson Lincoln, And God Bless Me: Prayers, Lullabies and Dream-Poems is a charming selection of poetry for children ages 3-8. Published in 1982 by Alfred A. Knopf, this anthology contains works from such poets as Carl Sandburg, Madeline L’Engle, Langston Hughes, Sara Teasdale, and Lee Bennett Hopkins. Lincoln’s muted color and black-and-white sketches complement the lovely simplicity of the poetry about such topics as bathtime, nighttime, bedtime, lullabies, and prayers. Children and their caregivers will enjoy winding down with these soothing poems at the end of the day.
