- Description
Prepare for the coming of Christmas by walking through the Advent season with a Catholic family!
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.
The four children have a lot of questions about Advent. 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 beginning of the Christmas seasons.
When you’re done reading, you can bless your Advent wreath using the blessing at the back of the book.

The images are beautiful and capture the events perfectly. The scripture verse references are useful for the bigger kids to look deeper. I have long been perplexed why anyone could be resistant to the True Presence, knowing that throughout the Gospels, what Jesus says, happens. This book brings that to life clearly.
A wonderful coloring book for my grandchildren!
Loved it!
It was a delightfully story
Beautiful coloring book, very high quality
Bought three coloring books for my grandchildren. Beautiful story. Large size pictures to color. Will help the children develop their Catholic faith.
I love Blessed Carlo Acutis. This will be a great gift for my godson.
It is a good fit for my phone. The edges will keep the screen from breaking. I like that a priest will be called in case of emergency. I love the picture of Our Lady Of Guadalupe.
I thought they were really nice! And having thestory in each page in both languages it’s great too. I handed them to my Church as we have bothEnglish and Spanish members and a Spanish Mass! Thank you.
Great book. Nice way to introduce young readers to this new Saint.
Got them for our parish Spanish teacher...the secretaries think they're awesome and are sure the teacher will love them.
Love it. Now anyone seeing this case, when I’m in need, will have full knowledge. The case tells all viewing my devotion.
It tells his story well.
I purchased three of these books and gave them to my grand daughters. I want them to know about this young saint. He was quite amazing !!
Love this book for teaching kids about the advent season. So beautiful and I know my children will love it this year and many more to come!
We love this book! Beautiful pictures and truly added to our advent season! Thank you so much!
My neice loved it
I bought this book as an Advent gift for my four-year-old. He LOVES this book, and he wants us to read it to him over and over. We already do a home Advent wreath and Jesse Tree, so it was refreshing to read about another family doing the same things. He even called me out on the fact that the family in the book has a white candle in the middle of their Advent wreath and ours doesn't! One of my favorite illustrations was the last page - on Christmas morning, there is only one thing under the tree. Not piles of presents but a simple Nativity set. The true gift of Christmas. Very well done book!
What a lovely book. So well put together and a great way to explain what Advent is all about!
