The Littlest Altar Boy

Item No. 9781936270460

by Jenny Oehlman, illustrated by Grace Brooks

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.
