Review
"This is a sweet story that shows children that you should joyfully help others. Like its companion book, Patrick and the Fire, it too includes a prayer to Saint Brigid and a brief biography on this saint.
These books were provided to me for free by Pauline Books and Media in exchange for an honest review."
