Very Young Catholics in New Zealand

Very Young Catholics in New Zealand introduces children to the stunning country of New Zealand!   

Three delightful sisters are always on the move in this tale of their life in beautiful New Zealand. Splashing in the river, climbing mountain trails, playing in the rain, enjoying ice cream at every opportunity, and participating in the celebration of Mass, they share their happy days with the reader. The traditions and language of the indigenous Maori people of New Zealand are an important part of the life of the children.

Each book in the Very Young Catholics series introduces the young reader to Catholic children in a new country, and the full series circles the globe. All of the children say the same prayers at Mass and share the same beliefs, but they live in widely varying locations and cultures. Young readers of the series will enjoy comparing their families, schools, games, and adventures with children in other countries. Each book in the Very Young Catholics series is richly illustrated with on-site photography and includes scientific, geographic, or cultural explanations of points in the story.
