A Walk Through Our ChurchA Walk Through Our Church, by Gertrud Mueller Nelson.

Books by Tomie de Paola are a delightful combination of art with a pre-modern feel and the simplest telling of the stories. The result is books that allow you to enjoy the essence of each story. There are subtle details to be found in the pictures. Great for all ages.

A great book for the weeks before Easter, and during the season of Pentecost that stretches from June until September.

A wonderful resource for "supposing" and "wondering" about a single parable at a time with your child.
