Introduce your child to the beauty and meaning of the colors at Holy Mass with A Little Catholic's Book of Liturgical Colors!

"Nature has its seasons;
The Catholic Church does too.
Her changing colors are a sign
That God makes all things new."

Written in delightful rhyming verse by Theresa Kiser and illustrated by Chris Pelicano (the long-time illustrator of Holy Heroes' products!), this board book will walk children through the different liturgical colors of the Catholic Church and where they will find them in the Mass. The rhythm of the poetry is tuned to a child's ear, so you may soon find your little ones "reading" the book themselves!

The author explains:
"As a new mom, I wanted to share the rich tradition of the Catholic church with my infant son, but most of all, I wanted to speak love to him. I wanted my baby boy surrounded by love, not only his parents' love, but a love that exceeds our own. With gentle rhyme, A Little Catholic's Book of Liturgical Colors was written to invite babies to see and hear about God's love through the symbolism of Catholic colors. In this way, I hope our child--and yours!--will learn the colors, experience the coziness of being read to by his parents, and make the crucial connection between the liturgy and God's unfailing love."

"Lovely board book for little ones! Theresa Kiser's beautiful board book is a wonderful way to introduce little ones to liturgical seasons and colors! Kids will love the bright colors and rhyming verse. Great for families and parish libraries and atriums."
-- Katie Warner, Simple Resources for Catholic Families

With 16 colorful pages including a Q&A page (so you can answer the questions inspired in young minds!), this is a great way to instill a love for the Catholic faith and the Holy Mass, as well as spark thoughtful conversations.

With bright colors and simple, rhyming text, this is the perfect introduction to the colors of the Church for young children. In simple terms and visuals that young children can grasp, it identifies colors with seasons and practices that children will recognize, like the candles on the Advent wreath. Some extra information at the end will help parents answer specific questions about when such colors are used. A wonderful addition to any Catholic child's library!

A beautiful, traditional-style board book of the liturgical seasons!

I am so in love with this board book! We just got it a few days ago and already have read it many times! Even as an adult, I really enjoyed the story and it was such a nice review of the liturgical seasons and colors. I wish I had something like this when I was growing up! I feel like both "veteran" Catholics and new Catholics would love this and find it educational.

Storyline: The book is rhyming and has a really nice flow to it! Not too long and wordy for little ones, just long enough! The story introduces the different colors of the "seasons" of the Catholic Church, making a connection to nature. I was very impressed with the way each season was described. The text itself is also a nice, big font making it easy to read.

Illustration: Each liturgical color rhyme takes up two pages. The illustration is big, full page bright and colorful images! Very eye-catching! It keeps the attention of my active little one who spends a lot of time looking at each page. On the bottom left corner of each page is a circle with the image of the priest lifting the Eucharist and clearly showing the color of the chasuble (priest's vestment). The right side of the page is a picture of a child with some sort of symbol for the season. I liked that the images were cartoon but not too babyish (if that makes sense). Very beautifully done and good representation of different ethnicities.

BONUS: At the end is a little 2 page Question & Answer section which gives more depth to what season the colors go with and why. Although it is a board book, this feels like a book that can grow with the child. Would be an excellent book to read before Mass and then ask your child what color they saw and what do they remember the color symbolizes/means. I'd also note that this is a great book if you are just getting back into your faith. Overall, a very well thought out little book!

Simple explanation of colors of priest's vestments for little ones.

This book was very nice in its quality, colorfulness, brightness, cleaness.
But I wasn't expecting the Latin Mass syle verses the Novus Ordo. It would have been nice had both been used.

My granddaughter cued into the color of the vestments since she was 12 months old. Now, at age 4, this book helps in teaching about the significance of the color in relation to the liturgical year. I like the cute rhyming verse, too!

My children love to pull this out at the start of every Mass and match it up to what Father is wearing and the older kids will read to the younger ones what the color means and the season we are in.

I bought this as a gift for a baby in our church who will be celebrating the first anniversary of her Baptism soon. I think it will be great to get material like this in the hands of our young families.

A very easy way to teach young children liturgical seasons. And a new "church book" to bring to Mass. Honestly, I've ordered very many products from Holy Heroes and I've never been disappointed.
