Prepare for the coming of Christmas by walking through the Advent season with a Catholic family!

Advent and Christmas are holy seasons everywhere, but the Catholic children of Austria have an especially rich set of traditions to draw on. Let me take you inside this beautifully photographed book (and don’t forget to get this picture book too):

Another Advent book for your seasonal book collection:

Joan, Joe, Emmanuel, and Gianna are surprised when their parents suddenly begin bringing things into their home at the beginning of December. Evergreen branches, candles, and new foods keep appearing throughout the house. They are quickly told that this is part of “Advent” and that the family is preparing for the Christmas season. 

Join the kids as their family celebrates Advent as a time of prayerful waiting and expectation, full of fun traditions and treats! 

Excerpts from the Scripture readings for Advent and Christmas are keyed to the main text throughout the book, helping little ones make connections between the story and what they hear at Mass throughout the Advent and the beginning of the Christmas seasons. 

Another NEW book for Catholic families:

Super J and the Power of Love is a new pro-life children’s book that seeks to highlight the beautiful gift of love, joy, and goodness that children with Down syndrome bring into this world.

For many parents who have a child with Down syndrome, doctors have them prepare for the worst. So many of them waited for a life of sorrow. So many say they wished doctors had told them about the good things: the love, the joy, and the celebration of their precious child! 

The book is a wonderful gift for children to show them that people with Down syndrome have a mission from God and that they are given special gifts by Him to share with others.

This book is full of vibrant illustrations by Sam Estrada (who most recently illustrated a St.Joseph Graphic Novel with Fr. Calloway). 

Now, add Super J and the Power of Love to your family library! The author is contributing ten percent of her sales to Hearts of Joy International, a Catholic organization that provides life-saving heart surgeries to Down syndrome children all over the world.
