The Belles of Lake Leelanau

"Some stories may even have unsuspecting heroes in them, such as wise Grandma Belle and a cow named Gladys with the freshest milk in town"

In this gentle and moving picture book, read the story of a peaceful little village where the bells ring out to announce the time for the Angelus and to announce births, weddings, and deaths.

Into this village, a pair of twins is born. But one of the twins isn't doing too well. Born with a condition that stops her from being able to swallow, baby Irene is put under the care of her wise and loving grandmother.

With gentleness and grace, Ann Mulligan gives us a touching, TRUE tale of loving care and the power of prayer. The story is perfectly paired with Dave Messing's charming illustrations, creating a delightful book that is sure to become a classic in every Catholic child's library.
