On a hillside in Mexico, Mary appears to Saint Juan Diego and asks him to carry a message. At the heart of the story are two things even very little children can recognize and remember. Roses bloom in the cold, and an image of Our Lady appears on Juan Diego’s tilma, the cloak he uses to carry them.
This Catholic board book is a first introduction to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Juan Diego, and the tenderness with which Mary speaks to him. It gives families a way to share the story behind the familiar image of Our Lady and to celebrate her December 12 feast day with a book little ones can hold and revisit.
