• Tommy, who uses kindness and two minnows to heal a bishop and save a school;

• Osbert and Rupert, gypsy twins who make a donkey of themselves to bring peace to the world;

• Joey, the stable boy whose coat is transformed when his donkey bears Jesus to Jerusalem; and

• Kathleen, who goes without candy and brings a shopkeeper back to the Faith.

• Soviet cows, Marian icons, pet mice, Easter roosters, Noah and the ark, fish, donkeys, and even a dinosaur: they're all here in a dozen charming tales of children living their Faith while having great Catholic fun.
