Synopsis

This charming book begins with a heartwarming story of a baby baptism day. The story is written from the perspective of the baby and brings out all the newness and specialness of this day. The illustrations are by Bill Shurtliff who masterfully uses the family, home, and church settings, accentuated by angels, babies, and a few pets, to create an illustrated guide to the Sacrament of Baptism. The illustrated story is enough to make this a treasured book. But there is more. The Short Essays on Baptism that follow the story section are particularly enlightening for older children and adults. They serve to remind us of the history, meaning, and the absolute importance of the Sacrament of Baptism. Another feature that makes Today I Was Baptized special is the ability to personalize the book, making it a cherished memento of the baptism day.

From the Author

Some days are ordinary days and some days are special days. Each day is important, but special days get a lot more attention. The first special day in our lives is, of course, the day we are conceived. The last special day on earth is the day we die. In between we celebrate the special days of our birth, the day of baptism for Christians, a first day of school, a confirmation day, a bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah day for those of Jewish faith, the day we buy our first car, the day we get engaged, the day we marry, the day we bring home a new baby, the day we become grandparents, and so on and so on. Many special days have traditions and rituals associated with them that we observe, sometimes not realizing why, other than it is great fun. For other days we create our own special celebrations. Today I Was Baptized is the first in a series of books from Aunt Dee's Attic intended as keepsakes to commemorate, celebrate, and tell the story of these special days in our lives.
