Subtitle: A Young Child’s Guide to Church Etiquette

By Kelly Ramkin Lardin, with illustrations by Sheena Hisiro

Josiah and Julia love to go to church. They love to venerate the icons, light candles, and eat the blessed bread. Sometimes they behave very well—but sometimes they make mistakes. Little ones can follow Josiah and Julia through the Liturgy and learn how even the youngest child can honor God by behaving properly in church.
