Posted by Charlie Goodwin on Jun 26th 2023
This little gem of a book is a must have for your child's bookshelf!! Through poetry and beautiful, thoughtful illustrations you will learn the story of the amazing St. Philomena, Powerful with God. The illustrations are so wonderful, you may be tempted to cut them out and frame them for your home!! I couldn't recommend this book more. Feed your child's (and your own) imagination with goodness, truth, and beauty and BUY THIS BOOK!!!
