Editorial Review
"A special board book that very young children will treasure to read . . . a lovely baptism or christening gift." --Midwest Book Review
The Book
I love this gentle, tender board book that explains to children the importance of their baptism. The soft colour pallet that the illustrator uses in her artwork enriches the text making the book easy for little ones to understand visually what occurs on their special day.
Children are made aware of the promises that family, friends and the church congregants make during this touching and meaningful ceremony. The author has included four simple prayers to learn and pray when the child is able to do so. The language of the book is simple and the message given is powerful...little ones are very important to God and those around them.
This would be a perfect gift to give at a baptism. The author has included a beautiful dedication page to personalize the book making it a keepsake for sure. I highly recommend it.
