This beautiful primer is a simple introduction for children to some of the concepts and images found in her work. This special book is filled with beautiful illustrations and a lovely rhyming poem from award-winning author and illustrator Chantal
Baros.Book measures roughly 7 inches tall and 7 inches wide with thick board book pages in different shapes to create a 3D Castle! There are seven spreads in total, plus the front and back covers.

Our Lady Of Fatima Doll
$12.99On May 13, 1917 in Portugal, three small children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, were taking their flocks of sheep out to the pasture to an area known as the Cova da Iria.
After lunch, they prayed the rosary, and then a sudden flash of bright white light went through the sky, and when they looked up they saw a beautiful woman that seemed to be full of light.
The Lady told the children that she was the Virgin Mary, and she asked them to come back to the same spot on the same day of the month for six months. then on the seventh month she would show them all a miracle so that everyone everywhere would believe!
On the seventh month, the Virgin Mary appeared, talked with the children, and then to the amazement of the crowd of thousands who came looking for proof, the sun began to dance and move in the sky! This is known as the miracle of the sun, and it is a well documented historical occurrence!
When our Lady appeared at Fatima she asked the children to tell the people to pray the rosary, go to confession, and turn their lives back towards God, who loves them and wants them to have happy lives!

Saint Peter (Doll)
$12.99Meet St. Peter!
St. Peter (June 29th)
Patron of: fishermen, leaders, the Papacy, ship builders, against fever
St. Peter was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, and was the first Pope. Peter became the first Pope of the Catholic Church after Jesus told him that, “upon this rock I will build my Church.” Even though Peter denied Christ, he asked for forgiveness and went on to do great things. A great example to us all that no one is free from sin, but all that turn to Christ will be made new. This doll has the most stunning rooster design on the back, to symbolize the three times Peter denied Christ each time the rooster crowed.
Teach your children about asking for forgiveness! Introduce the story of St. Peter using the educational insert in the box. Encourage children to consider what it means to fail, but to get back up again. We all make mistakes, fail and sin- but like St. Peter we can turn to Jesus and be helped back up again. St. Peter is a great Saint to teach children about reconciliation.
