Sometimes life isn't easy. Every day can be fraught with ups and downs. But it's not what happens to you, it's how you handle it that counts.
In this book, Author Carissa Douglas teaches kids a lesson that lasts a lifetime. Join the Little Douglings on an adventure to surmount the challenges of everyday life. Together they encounter problems, and then find supernatural solutions that only Jesus offers.
In an uplifting and delightful verse, children learn how to “go to Jesus” when times are rough. Or for any reason at all, to experience His peace and forgiveness.

Reviews
Carissa Douglas’ book I Go to Jesus is the book that I wish I’d had when my children were younger. It’s the book for everyone who would like to teach their kids about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacreament. A definite in Catholic elementary schools all over. In fact, it’s not only a great book for children, but I can see how it can be a true source of grace for young and old.”

I fell in love with the book instantly. It gives us a picture of a family that really believes and really puts into action their love for God and the Eucharist. May this book help all people, both young and old, to appreciate, to rediscover, and to be in love again with the Eucharist, who is Christ.”
