Book Description:
One by one, the children tiptoe down the stairs . . .
It's midnight at the orphanage, and a group of children are sneaking to the kitchen to pray together. Would anyone else come too? they wonder. Night after night, more children join the fireside prayer meeting. But a bully named Fritz threatens to disrupt the group. When he sneaks down to scare the other children, will Fritz be the one who is surprised?
In this heartwarming story, readers will share the excitement as the boys and girls creep down the dark stairs, and they will feel the tension of the bully’s threats. But most of all they will discover the difference children can make when they pray together.
