Review Quotes:
"Sharing our faith with children is vitally important, and what better way to learn about our faith than through learning about the lives of the saints. St. Nicholas is a most beloved saint, yet many do not know the story of his life. Amanda Lauer's children's book, My First Saint Nicholas Book, beautifully and simply shares the love of Christ that St. Nicholas had, even as a young boy. . . The feast of St. Nicholas is a wonderful day to live out our faith, love for Christ through selfless acts and gifts for others."
-The Most Reverend David L. Ricken, Bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay
