Well written and just the right amount of information for a young child to understand the history of the papacy. The pictures are beautiful, my children all enjoyed it!
First, we read this book. Then we watched the conclave on live TV. This book was a perfect complement and reference point. It’s filled in very useful information about the process, the prayers, and tradition. The elegant and beautiful yet understated artwork was effective In communicating the spiritual meaning of the papacy and of the selection of a new successor to Peter..
Great book! Wonderful illustrations and explanations.
This was a fantastic resource to have during this time as we elected a new Pope! It explained the process well and my first graders really enjoyed learning about what happens!
This book has enough information for your ones to learn about our tradition, without being overwhelmed. So age appropriate! The illustrations are beautiful, and came alive when we were watching the conclave Mass. I’m so glad we got it just in time for this historic time.
My kids loved the pictures and I liked how simply it explains how a pope is chosen.
