Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Prairie Thief by Melissa Wiley

Just finished this as a read aloud with ds. We really enjoyed it. Melissa is a lovely storyteller as those of you who are familiar with the Martha and Charlotte books know already. This book she says has a setting from her childhood - the plains of eastern Colorado, near a conservation center that is still there today. We live near there ourselves now and I could really feel its setting here - has all those elements of the Colorado plains. Anyway that won't be personal for everyone, but it was a very cute book that we enjoyed and wanted to mention it here.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was wondering what age this book was directed at and I just ordered it for my 10 year for Christmas.
