"I bought the two new storybooks and am telling my parents ALL to buy them as Christmas gifts. I almost cried! Love the illustrations, the way it’s all presented, the fact that it is almost word for word how the stories are presented, and that it will be such a wonderful tool for parents."—Kim McPherson, Director of Religious Education, Saint John's Cathedral, Denver, Colorado
