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.

Little Angel

Geraldine McCaughrean

This is the story of a shepherd and an angel who help each other on Christmas Eve- not a classic retelling of the nativity story but very enjoyable.
I think the pictures are very beautiful,especially of the angels, and there are a few lines that are memorable. My kids like the ending, when the wolf herds the sheep back to the fields after they see Baby Jesus. They think that is funny. Again- not a strictly religious book, but definitely worth a read, especially if your library has it.

Shepherds, Christmas, sheep, angels, wolf, flying, Baby Jesus.
