Learn to Pray My First Hail Mary teaches the littlest Catholics how to pray the Hail Mary with a charming story based in Scripture.
Ascension has released Learn to Pray My First Hail Mary, a book for young Catholics that teaches them the foundational prayer of the Rosary: the Hail Mary.
Based in Scripture and written by Meredith Wilson, Learn to Pray My First Hail Mary walks alongside little ones as they follow along with the story of the Annunciation, and grow in devotion to the Blessed Mother.
Illustrated by Candace Camling, illustrator of the award-winning My First Interactive Mass Book, this new children’s title is perfect for keeping little ones occupied during family Rosary time, bedtime storytelling, and more.
Former Catholic educator Meredith Wilson comments on her hopes for children as they read this book, “This book that’s just for them is designed to help little ones learn the words and the story of the Hail Mary. It’s my hope that it will help parents guide their children to our Blessed Mother and her Son.”
Learn to Pray My First Hail Mary is the perfect companion for The Rosary in a Year Podcast for parents and Pray and Think Imaginative Rosary Book.
Learn to Pray My First Hail Mary is available at www.AscensionPress.com.
