Dear Parents,

Do you have a child getting ready for baptism? Use the story on page 24 to talk about how Jesus Christ was baptized. What are your children looking forward to about baptism? What questions do they have? You can use the stories on pages 10 and 12 to talk about what to expect. Can you share a memory from your own baptism?

With love,

The Friend

Reading Tip

Have your children circle words that are hard for them as they read on their own. Then read the story with them and talk about the circled words.
