The story of Mary and Joseph comes to life in colorful, full-page illustrations and lively text for children ages 4 through 9. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were a holy family. They respected each other, and loved each other. Most of all, they loved God and put their trust in him. The Holy Family is a model of love and faith for all families.
