Praise for Christmas Joy with Grandma:
Donna-Marie’s book, Christmas Joy with Grandma! is a treasure to behold; a gift to read and share. It draws you into a place of light, joy, and love. Donna-Marie makes the “real Christmas Story” come to life. Within the colorful illustrations, and charming text, is a vital message on waiting, and preparing for the Christ Child. I look forward to reading this with my grandchildren. Highly recommended for children and adults! — Kathleen Beckman, Author, Speaker, Praying for Priests, A Family Guide to Spiritual Warfare, When Women Pray, God's Healing Mercy
In this dizzying, high stress era of sound-byte driven, speed-of-light communications, Donna-Marie Cooper O’Boyle has written a simple, sweet and sincere story about the value of patience, the thrill of quiet anticipation, the beauty of grandparents, and the true meaning of family, love, and Christmas. Her new children’s book is an absolute delight! — Anthony DeStefano, bestselling Catholic author of more than 25 books, including: A Travel Guide to Heaven, Our Lady’s Wardrobe, Our Lady’s Picture Book and How the Angels Got Their Wings.
Great children’s book! It is not only a Christmas book, but an Advent book, as well. Donna-Marie brings out the joy of family sharing, Advent-Christmas traditions, and the true meaning of Christmas. The smell of Grandma’s homemade cookies exudes from each page. Read this book by a nice warm fireplace during Advent or Christmas! — Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC, Vice-Rector of Shrine Liturgy of the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy
Everyone loves a story — and a story is a wonderful way to teach about Advent without making it feel like a lesson. Christmas Joy with Grandma! gives grandparents and parents a way to share with littles what they believe about Advent in an easily readable and beautifully illustrated way. A great way to share the joy of our faith! — Kimberly Hahn, Author of Legacy of Love, Beloved and Blessed, and Graced and Gifted.
