A timeless classic of Christian devotion for children, Little Pillows was written by beloved Victorian poet and hymn writer Frances Ridley Havergal (1836–1879) during a visit to the Swiss Alps in 1874. In the tradition of the great nineteenth-century devotional writers, Havergal composed this gentle collection as "good night thoughts" — short, tender meditations built around a single Scripture verse, designed to give young hearts something true and peaceful to rest upon as they drift off to sleep. The book's charming origin story sets the tone perfectly: a little girl tucked in for bed is offered a "little pillow" — not a feather pillow, but a sweet word from God's Word to lay her heart upon through the night. From that moment, Little Pillows became a nightly companion for children across generations, offering simple yet profound reflections on beloved promises such as "Come unto Me," "I have loved you, saith the Lord," and "This same Jesus." Each of the book's short chapters takes one Scripture passage and draws it out in warm, accessible language, gently leading children to trust in Christ's love, forgiveness, and care. Havergal's gift for combining poetic beauty with childlike faith makes every page feel like a quiet blessing. This edition, faithfully reproduced by SMF Press (a division of Scripture Memory Fellowship International), presents Havergal's original text exactly as she wrote it — a treasure for parents, grandparents, and educators who want to instill in children a love for God's Word from their earliest years. Perfect for: Bedtime reading with young children - Family devotions - Sunday school and Christian education - Gifts for baptism, dedication, or first communion A rare devotional that speaks to the heart of a child and the soul of a parent alike — Little Pillows is as fresh and nourishing today as the night it was first written.
