Fiji’s stunning beauty is the backdrop for this tale of three children from a lively Fijian family.
The book opens with a picnic at the natural water slide on the river, and closes with a lovo, the traditional Fijian barbecue. Scenes from ordinary life include school, church, and sports, all set in the context of a warm and beautiful family.
Our young Catholics in Fiji live precisely halfway around the earth from the young West African Catholics in our Togo book. The two books make a nice contrast of the true nature of the universal church!

from 6089 reviewsLove these so much! My only regret is that I didn’t buy more.
Love him. What about making an altar girl?
I will ne giving this as a gift to our grandson in November. He is a fan of the Fr. Leopold bricks and items.
My students each enjoyed coloring a page of this book. We have added their artwork to our classroom library.
They are very cute although I think they are quite expensive for the one Lego alter boy. I like them and I ordered 2 but they are pricey
Cards arrived before our trip to Rome.
Beautiful and informative cards. Thanks!
Finally Fr. Leopold has an altar server. Thanks! My grandson loves this brick set.
Loved these cards! Perfect for all ages.
I have one of each of the Altar Boys, because God created us all and they are all absolutely adorable. Thank you for the idea to make these special chilrden.
These cards are perfect for making the next generation of saints!
I’m really impressed with the quality of the product.
My grandson opened the book and read it all as soon as he opened it
They were gifts for my grandchildren and we all loved them! Thank you for providing a quality product for a reasonable price.. I also appreciate the quick delivery.
game is fun and helpful for our program.
Fits right in! When will we have an altar girl??
My kids love these! I can't believe how much my kids are connecting with the families profiled in this series of books. They are 7 and 5, and we end up having to flip back to the front page to review the children's names and how old each of them is multiple times. These are perfect read-alouds for us but I can imagine children returning to these as fairly easy reading practice. The photography is gorgeous and the author has a knack for telling the story of families in a way that is relatable to children anywhere but highlights the beautiful uniqueness of each location. In this one, they especially loved the description of the giant shared picnic after Mass was offered in the village.
