Elizabeth has a problem: She wants to pray in church more than anything, but every time she tries to pray, her feet start tapping. How can she pray if she can’t stay still? When a dragon appears on the monastery’s land and the only solution is prayer, Elizabeth worries even more. She turns to the abbess and the saints for help. Through their guidance and intercession, Elizabeth learns that our whole bodies have a place in prayer, and sometimes our spiritual weaknesses can be a gift that God uses for great good. This wonderfully fun story, illustrated to capture the hearts of busy children, was inspired by the life of the sixth-century saint, Elizabeth the Wonderworker.
