A Child's Guide to the Eucharist: Book on Liturgy for Little Ones

Jennie Turrell walked into All Saints’ Chapel on Good Friday, when her three-year-old son stopped her within the darkened doorway and quietly whispered, “Uh-oh.” At that second, she realized that modifications within the bodily house of the liturgy mattered to him. She had been whispering in his ear throughout liturgies since he was a child, but it surely wasn’t till that day that she knew he had been taking all of it in―sights and sounds―all of it. Regardless of squawking at inopportune occasions, crawling within the facet aisle or narthex when sermons ran too lengthy, drawing on the bulletin, dropping the heavy Guide of Frequent Prayer on his toes, or standing on chairs, her son was current, conscious, and sharing within the Eucharist.

This is the story of how her charming children's book came to be. Her son played a key role in guiding the creation of the book, ensuring it resonated with little hands from start to finish.
