This book has the colour illustration, textual simplicity and styling to
appeal to children around the age of 7 - and all the charm and
respectfulness to appeal to the adult buying the book. Designed with a
fill-in page to commemorate the event, space for a photo to be stuck in
and an acetate wrap to protect the white mock leather cover, it contains
prayers - including many from or inspired directly by the Bible - on the
themes of praising God, acknowledging one's baptism, coming to
confession, taking part in holy communion, and seeking the great
virtues. The book concludes with a section of appealing and reassuring
blessings. This will be welcomed not only as a memento of a special day,
but as a collection of prayers on which to establish an ongoing
repertoire.
