Very Young Catholics in the Philippines

A NEW Very Young Catholic adventure!

Welcome to the Philippines! Come join Asya and Oséanó as they visit caves, beaches, and crocodiles. Their large and lively group of relatives meets for some waterfall fun and a trip to Grandfather’s coconut farm. In the Philippines, the feasts of the Catholic Church are celebrated in a grand style. Follow along as Asya takes part in the traditional Easter procession of Resurrection Sunday. Then explore some engaging ways for everyone to celebrate Pentecost, and walk with the children through the sacrament of priestly ordination.

This is the twentieth book in the Very Young Catholics series. Each book introduces the young reader to Catholic children in a new country, and the full series circles the globe. All of the children say the same prayers at Mass and share the same beliefs, but they live in widely varying locations and cultures. Young readers of the series will enjoy comparing their families, schools, games, and adventures with children in other countries. Each book in the Very Young Catholics series is richly illustrated with on-site photography and includes scientific, geographic, or cultural explanations of points in the story.
