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.

Kristi,

What age? I have it and IMO, its ok. It is not really in a story form; more facts only.

But even for all that (not being in story form), it is an excellent book. It even holds lots of information-appeal for older children. In my opinion, it is arguably the best introduction to the concept of consititutionalism (the notion that a government is bound by the principles set forth in a document, as opposed to things being done at the whim of a divine right monarch). This is such a huge paradigm shift in how governments were stuctured, and forms the basis of American government. I personally think it is very important book.

Peace,
Nancy
