This book is a great way to introduce your children to Our Lady of Fatima. If they are already familiar with the story, it's a great way to encourage love and devotion to Our Lady of Fatima.

The illustrations are lovely: rich and warm. The story is straight forward and told in an engaging fashion.

It treats the shepherdesses and shepherds as children, while managing not to belittle them.

At the end of the book you'll find a "For the Grown Ups" page, and also directions on how to pray the rosary. A great book deserving of any Catholic child's bookshelf.

Note: The publisher sent me a complimentary copy of the these books with the hope that I would provide (favorable) reviews. Complimentary books don't necessarily make good books, though. My opinions are my own.
