The Night Before My First Communion

Putting an uplifting spin on a classic poem, this charmingly illustrated and lyrical picture book will help kids—and their parents!—celebrate and prepare for this Catholic rite of passage.

"T’was the night before Communion,
Our very first one.
We had studied so hard
And now we were done."

On the night before their First Communion, a brother and sister get ready for this important event. All the family is there--family, grandparents, godparents--to help them prepare for the following day.

The Night Before series helps young readers—and their parents!—explore big milestones in an encouraging, uplifting way.
