This is an adorable book! I was given the opportunity to review it through Mom Blog Society (i.e. directly from the author) and even though it is geared for a girl, I thought it might make a good inspirational piece for teaching my son about some aspects of our faith. We are Roman Catholic, so first communion is a HUGE deal. We have several years before my son is ready for communion, but he LOVES books. This is one of those books that I can read to him and talk to him about the pictures now even though he doesn't understand it yet. He will be able to grow up and just understand our faith with very little work because we started early. The pictures are wonderfully artistic and detailed. He really enjoyed the colors and images. He's been to church with us a few times (not much because he won't sit still for more than a few minutes) and I think that some of the images in the book may have seemed familiar since he pointed to things that exist in our church.The story of Seraphina getting her first communion is written out with just enough information that the child gets the idea of what is happening, but there is a lot of room for the parents to jump in and give more details. It gives a lot of room for you to explain your faith and that faith doesn't have to be Roman Catholic. Any faith that supports communion can use this wonderful story because Tracy Young (author) doesn't mention a specific faith in the story. Being Roman Catholic, I felt like it really was accenting the aspects of my faith and what is important for a young girl to know when she is about to receive first communion. I would love to see a second printing of this story where it focuses on a little boy since a boy will have no need for a dress or veil.
