Description
After attending Church today in Chicago, this book came to mind. There was the cutest and smallest Altar Boy. Wanted to share this book with all of you.
It’s the littlest altar boy’s first day to serve, and he’s a little nervous. What if he trips on his robe? What if his candle catches somebody’s hair on fire? Young boys looking forward to serving as acolytes will identify with this boy’s anxieties and breathe easier when all goes well.
