Written for children in the middle elementary grades, this book presents lessons along with practices and activities that reinforce them. As the child contemplates an activity or practice, he or she colors one of forty stones in an illustrated path leading to Easter. The stories, pictures, to color, puzzles, recipes, and prayers are designed to help the child discover not just the 'how to' of Lenten practices but also the 'why' behind them. Ideal for classroom or family use, everyone can participate in the activities - like taking a nature walk, baking eucharistic bread, holding a reconciliation service, praying for the hungry, and more.
