Meet the Angels
by Léonie and Stratford Caldecott
Illustrated by David Clayton

With simple text written by Léonie and Stratford Caldecott, and beautiful full page illustrations by artist David Clayton, this colouring book is designed to introduce children to the Angels that they hear about in the Bible. Simple Bible stories and traditional prayers show the role the Angels play in our lives as Christians, and encourage an imaginative engagement with Scripture that will keep your child growing in his or her faith.

We meet our Guardian Angel, we see Abraham inviting three Angels to a meal, we share Jacob‘s vision of Angels ascending and descending on a ladder to heaven, we glimpse the Angel of the Annunciation, the Christmas Angels, and many others. Each double-page spread consists of a text on one side, and beautiful line drawing to colour in on the other. By colouring the book, your child will be drawn into these lovely stories and learn the Church‘s teaching in easy stages.

The Mass Illustrated for Children
by Susan Bateman

This is the first of our own books, specially designed to meet the urgent need for catechesis on the Mass, and to supply a resource for families, schools and parishes preparing children for their first Holy Communion. It can be used either as a colouring book or as a child's Missal.

The texts are all approved by ICEL and printed in two colours. Beautiful, symbolic pictures lead the reader gently into the heart of the mystery of the Eucharist.

Review of The Mass, Illustrated for Children by Francis Phillips in The Catholic Herald, August 2006
"This booklet is that very rare thing: a good children's book about the Mass. Most offerings on this theme over-simplify what happens and underestimate children's intelligence. This does neither. The careful, sensitive line drawings avoid a further error: irreverent, comic-cut illustrations that many catechists employ, hoping to liven up the subject. They are intended to be coloured in, but not by the podgy palms of pre-schoolers, enthusiastically armed with wax crayons. The book is aimed at 6-10 year-olds who can ponder and read for themselves and who enjoy being painstaking with felt tips.

Much care has been taken with the typography and one senses that a child who reads it slowly at Mass, guided through each section by the prayers and pictures, will achieve a real and permanent understanding of its mystery and meaning, appropriate to his/her level. For their parents, too, anxious to bring their children up in the faith they love but unable through lack of confidence or a lack in their own catechesis to explain what the Mass is about, the book will be a godsend; it will teach them even as it teaches their children."
