Religious and educational literature for children is an interesting example of how different functional styles and genres can coexist within the same text. This article focuses on the Polish manual “Modlę się do Ciebie”, written by M. Maliński, for primary school students. The purpose of the work, its functions, and the author’s intentions are discussed. The features of the style of the text are also explored – the use of colloquial language and diminutives, while still maintaining a high style vocabulary, including religious terms, the abundance of means of artistic expression.
