The Monks of Archangel Monastery have a dilemma: their cupboards are bare!
 
But their wise Father Abbot reminds them to trust that Christ will provide their daily bread. So the monks go about their work, study and prayer, while offering up their belly grumble for the love of God.
 
This beautifully-illustrated book will be enjoyed by children and their caregivers for its humorous pictures, for fun rhymes reminiscent of Dr. Seuss, and for the heartfelt message of sincere trust in the Lord's providence.

    Beautiful Reminder of God’s Providence

    Posted by Nupur on Sep 14th 2023

    Beautifully written and even though it’s written for children, the lesson itself serves as a useful reminder to adults of the essence of our faith: God’s providence and our need to have complete faith and trust in it.

    So good for kids

    Posted by Whitney on Sep 7th 2023

    I love the rhymes and also the underlying messages about giving God our suffering. Also, it’s nice to see a Catholic kids book with crucifixes, altars, and tabernacles. It helps bring the church into the home.

    Charming

    Posted by Patricia B. on May 24th 2023

    I purchased this book for my granddaughters. I like it. The simple rhyme is very charming, as well as the illustrations. I love the old-fashioned push mower on page 16, and the pet fox, the fish symbol on the postman;s cap, and the WWJD on his license plate. The book teaches trust in Divine Providence in a not-so-unreal setting of a monastery which depends on alms for support.

    Love these books

    Posted by Tina on May 24th 2023

    These are my little nieces absolute favourite books! They are so well written and memorable. The illustrations bring each page to life with a comical and endearing humour, making you feel compassion for the little monks as they struggle though each challenge, lead by Father Abbot, who has the patience of a saint! Overall, a huge hit at my familys house! We all love them! When can we expect #4??

    What a charming and realistic way to depict suffering and turning it over to God for relief.
