Combining the traditional format and prayers with a contemporary perspective, the award-winning Child's Guide series presents the complete Stations of the Cross to children aged 5 to 9. The traditional format helps children learn how to pray the Stations, while the clear and insightful reflections help children understand what each might mean in their own lives. The watercolor art for each Station is tender and sad, moving away from the Guide's usually cheerful colors to a subdued palette that evokes the color of Lent. The illustrations are appropriately sober without being too dark nor too somber, . Appropriate for church, school, and family use, this all-in-one guide is also an excellent way for children to learn how to start praying on their own. The Stations of the Cross is a prayer not limited to Lent but is a meditation on Christ"€"for everyone"€"that can be prayed all year round.
