Kathleen and the Communion Copter

Kathleen is worried about her First Holy Communion. All the children in her school are making a huge fuss of the day. The children are buying special outfits, planning hair-dos and hiring castles and cars. One girl is even going to hire a Communion Copter. But Kathleen’s mum thinks making a fuss is ridiculous and insists Kathleen wears a very dull, tasteful dress.

Kathleen does not want to be the plainest girl there so she decides to “bling” her rosary beads. She is going to customize them to make them special.

Will that be enough to make her Communion Day special or will the Communion Copter put everyone in the shade? In the end everyone is surprised at what really matters most on the day.

Many Irish people get into a pre-Communion tizz. Don't panic! The book will help girls and their families to prepare for a First Holy Communion. It takes a light-hearted look at the pressures that the modern Communion can put on families. There is a gentle message about the meaning of Communion and a warning against getting carried away with the (admittedly very enjoyable) commercial and superficial aspects.

You might recognise some of the characters from my Auntie Books. This book is also on KINDLE with drawings on every chapter and on Amazon as an audio book..
