Today Is a Baptism Day by Anna V. Ostenso can now be found in the diocesan lending library. This children’s book is brilliantly written and illustrated through a refreshing inclusive lens. The writer, who is an Episcopal priest, beautifully depicts the journey of baptism by highlighting the family, church community, sacred texts, sacraments, and living-out of baptismal vows. The incredibly talented Peter Krueger, who illustrated the book, has been a Godly Play storyteller since 2012. His artwork captures the diversity of all God’s children made perfectly as they are. The book includes same-sex couples, people of different ethnicities, colours, and genders, and people living with disabilities. We highly recommend that you check out Today is a Baptism Day if you are interested or curious about baptism and faith formation.
The lending library has several other resources available for borrowing as well, including: labyrinths, puppets (both people and animals), vacation bible school kits, Sunday school lessons, faith formation practices for children and youth, congregational support resources, and much more!
