An Advent Hope: A Children's Book about Family Advent Traditions

What is Advent? Why are the Advent candles different colours? What's a Jesse Tree? What is the smell coming from the oven? That's what young Joan, Joe, Emmanuel and Gianna want to know. Join them as their family celebrates Advent as a time of prayerful waitingand expectation, full of enjoyful traditions and treats. Excerpts from the Scripture readings for Advent and Christmas accompany the text so that children connect the story and what they hear at Mass. You can use the blessing prayer at the end of the book to bless your own Advent wreath.
