Family members and classmates learn together from the Fatima Five team about Marian Consecration, the Rosary, Fatima Prayers, Brown Scapular, the power of sacrifice, the virtues and the Five First Saturdays devotion. It implants in children’s hearts the seeds of love and devotion to Mary’s Immaculate Heart and introduces the family to live Fatima in the home. Full-color illustrations enhance the story and bring to life the Fatima Five team – Mary our Mother and Queen, Anjo de Pas (Angel of Peace), Jacinta, Francisco and Lucia. A cute, fluffy character named Fofo the lamb helps the child practice what they learned at the end of each challenge.  This book is a perfect gift for Christmas, birthday or First Holy Communion. A FREE Fatima Friends Guide for Grown-ups helps educators and adults guide the child through the five easy challenges and learn themselves about Fatima and Marian Consecration through St. Louis de Montfort.
