Hi,
Has anyone got this book? A Handshake from Heaven by Carol S. Bannon and illustrator Michaelin Otis.

I'm considering buying it for my nephew to help with his fisrt Holy Communion preparation. The reviews look promising but I would appreciate comments from you here.

Here's a description of the book on amazon:
A Handshake From Heaven has the Seal of Approval from the Catholic Writers Guild. Illustrating for children how the Eucharist allows them to hold God's hand, it will teach children that receiving Communion strengthens their relationship with God; through this Sacrament He opens the doorway into Heaven. Adults and children will find their love of the Eucharist deepening as they share this book together. A Handshake From Heaven is being used in Grief and Dying Ministries, Adoration, and Confirmation.
