Synopsis

Theology of the Body (TOB) Children's Book. Through the use of beautiful illustrations and simple yet truthful and medically correct language, this book explains the majesty God designed into the full, free, faithful, and fruitful communion of spouses that allows “man” to “image” the Trinity, who creates out of love, in order to share love. Complete with biblical and literary references, and granted both the Nihil Obstat (by Msgr. Brian Bransfield) and the Imprimatur (by Archbishop Charles Chaput), Wonderfully Made! Babies will enrich your child’s understanding of life’s bigger picture while affirming his or her personal worth and place in the world. Here's what one priest has to say about the book: “Our Lord Jesus, the Son of the living God, said ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ Matthew 19:14. He wants to implant and pour into the heart and soul of children the seed of the Kingdom of His Father. This wonderful book, with a beautiful text, easy to read and understand, and with lively art work, will plant into children the seeds of Jesus' understanding of man and woman. This little book is the "Theology of the Body" for children--get it and give it to children, give it to schools and to Religious-ed classes. I see Pope John Paul II laughing in heaven, amazed that his Theology of the Body has been written in such a way that children can understand it. May he intercede and bless the authors and the illustrator.”Fr. Pio Mandato, FMHJ

About this title

About the Author:

Ellen Giangiordano is a wife and mother of five children who is an attorney by training. When Ellen's oldest turned eight ten years ago, Ellen searched mightily, but could not find, a book that fit the following criteria: 100% Catholic; easy to understand; appropriate for personal reading by a child after the initial presentation by the parent. Not finding such a book anywhere, Ellen decided to write Wonderfully Made! Babies. In an earlier season of her life not filled with children, Ellen practiced litigation at a large law firm in Philadelphia, and then taught Law in Society as an adjunct professor at Temple University, Fox School of Business.
