It was just after the Giants won the World Series (once again!), so the bright kids were all wearing sport team shirts.

Thank you Ms. Della Cella & teachers!

& a new review on Amazon:

beautiful book prompts further study

By Perthies on October 9, 2014

Format: Hardcover

Illustrated and written by a convert to Catholicism like myself, this colourful book is an engaging look at the
architecture, variety, and symbolism incorporated in all aspects and types of Catholic church buildings.
From the very first reading it got my young children asking interested questions I couldn't answer. What does
this serpent mean? What is an apse? We will be finding out, and that's great because I simply fall deeper in
love with the Church the more I discover about her.

Thank you to Stefan for creating a beautiful book about buildings that are all-too-often either misunderstood
or simply taken for granted
