Our Lady's Message to Three Shepherd Children and the World

"At the height of the First World War, when Portuguese farmers were devastated by the horrors of war, miraculous events occurred in 1916 and again in 1917 in an obscure agricultural hamlet in Portugal. As Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta were grazing their sheep, a great angel emerged, preparing the little shepherds' hearts and souls for what was to come. Son, the Queen of Heaven herself appeared over a little tree, bringing many graces and important messages about conversion, penance, prayer, and peace. She even performed a miracle--the great Miracle of the Sun--to prove her message was from Heaven, a message that would wake up the sleepy village and ultimately change the world! This beautifully illustrated book will guide children in the footsteps of Lucia, Francisco, and Jacinta and will lead them to ponder our Lady's message and how it should be applied to their own prayer lives. Award-winning author and journalist, catechist, and EWTN television host Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle is one of America's foremost Fatima experts. A master storyteller, she presents this true story, which reads like a page-turning novel for children ages 7 to 107."
