Kathleen And The Communion Copter (First Holy Communions in Cork, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Kathleen is worried about her First Holy Communion. All the children in her school are making a huge fuss of the day. The children are buying special outfits, planning hair-dos and hiring castles and cars. One girl is even going to hire a Communion Copter. But Kathleen's mum thinks making a fuss is ridiculous and insists Kathleen wears a very dull, tasteful dress.

Kathleen does not want to be the plainest girl there so she decides to "bling" her rosary beads. She is going to customize them to make them special.

Will that be enough to make her Communion Day special or will the Communion Copter put everyone in the shade? In the end everyone is surprised at what really matters most on the day.

Many Irish people get into a pre-Communion tizz. Don't panic! The book will help girls and their families to prepare for a First Holy Communion. It takes a light-hearted look at the pressures that the modern Communion can put on families. There is a gentle message about the meaning of Communion and a warning against getting carried away with the (admittedly very enjoyable) commercial and superficial aspects.

You might recognise some of the characters from my Auntie Books. This book is also on KINDLE with drawings on every chapter and on Amazon as an audio book..

Autorenporträt

I have been making Auntie Books on Smashwords. They are very short books for aunties ...we can drop in and visit our nieces, nephews, kids of friends....whip out the smart phone and read an entire book while the attention span lasts. An Auntie Book should be no more than 1,250 words. I am delighted that Smashwords lets me make Auntie Books.

I have started a series about life in an Irish village school on Smashwords. My book "Kathleen and the Communion Copter" features a little girl, named Kathleen, and her family and extended family and her friends. As well as the book there are light-hearted short stories about Kathleen's little brothers, Tommy and Teddy. The Aunties also appear in short stories about their adventures and misadventures as loving but incompetent baby sitters.

My full length book about the First Holy Communion has been translated into Spanish for the Latin American market. It is on Smashwords as "Kathleen y el Helicoptero de la Primera Comunión'.
