A is for Angel: The Alphabet in Sacred Art
This stunning book teaches children the tenets of the Catholic faith while also introducing them to exquisite religious art created by such great masters as Bouguereau, Brueghel, and Vélazquez. The youngest readers can explore words ranging from “Angels” and “Baptism,” to “Creation” and “Saints.” Those a little older will learn religious basics through easily memorized lines, all accompanied by gorgeous paintings that illustrate the concept—including (for “P”) that “We open our hearts to God when we kneel down in prayer.” As a unique religious keepsake, this is the perfect gift for a baby shower, baptism, or first Holy Communion. It will stand the test of time and quickly become a classic in Catholic households.

Beautiful and Engaging
This was a gift for my 2 year old niece. I thought it was a book she could grow into, and I do think she will continue to enjoy it for many years. But the artwork is so lovely she enjoys it already and has favorite pictures.

Excellent Gift!
I got this book for my 18month goddaughter. The pictures are so lovely. The ABC format makes it familiar for tiny tots, but the art makes it a book that will be attractive for many, many years.
