A lovely Easter story that can be read at any time of the year. In this book, children learn The Sign of the Cross and they are also introduced to reading Scripture Verse, Lent, Easter and the meaning of the Resurrection. The lessons come from reading about the experiences of a little girl, her dog and her extended Italian-American, Catholic family. With large print and bright illustrations, even very young children will be able to learn about their Catholic Faith through this heart-warming story centered around baking Easter Bread with Nana. This is the first book in the Dawdling Teresa Series. Each story can be read independently of the others and involves simple Catechesis Lessons woven into the story and experiences of Dawdling Teresa and Big Brown Dog. There is always a Glossary of new words and Faith Strengthening Questions at the end of each book. For Ages 4-8 this book series is a wonderful, fun way for Catechists and families to help children with faith formation prior to Sacramental preparation or it can be a simple gift for a child to begin to learn about the joy and true meaning of Easter in our Catholic Faith.
