The Little Flower - A Spring Stroll inspired by St. Therese of Lisieux shaped book

Take a stroll through a springtime garden with the little flower, the nickname of St. Therese of Lisieux, and learn that in God's garden, we are each made special and unique! This lovely little book, written and illustrated by award-winning author and illustrator Chantal Baros, was inspired by the words of St. Therese of Lisieux in her famous spiritual classic, "The Story of a Soul." "Our Lord has deigned to explain this mystery to me. He showed me the book of nature, and I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose its springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be enameled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our Lord's living garden." - St. Therese of Lisieux 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. A perfect addition to any mini Catholic library! A great book for preschool age children. Book measures roughly 7 inches tall and 6 inches wide with thick board book pages in different shapes to create a beautiful garden!
