D.E. Delamare's Little Apostle on Crutches

Ryan, my nine year old, recently completed Little Apostle on Crutches, which we purchased at Catholic Heritage Curricula.  As a parent, I enjoyed D.E. Delamare's endearing book, because it emphasizes importance of virtues and character in a fun, traditional manner.  Since Little Apostle on Crutches was written for children Ryan's age, his review of this treasure is a better testimony than mine:

Do you show that you are a good Catholic?  Willie does, in Little Apostle on Crutches, by D.E. Delamare.  This is a great fiction story about a kind, little gentleman named Willie.  He is 11 and lives in 1911 in San Francisco.  His family is poor and Willie suffers, but he never complains.  He is strong and always praying for others.

The plot of The Little Apostle on Crutches is about events in Willie's life, like when he sells newspapers, helps his sister get glasses, finds his big brother, and celebrates his first communion.   The most exciting part of the book is when his friend Jimmy gets swept by a wave.  Thank Goodness Willie saves him.

Little Apostle on Crutches is a Catholic story for nine and ten year olds.  I love how Willie is strong in his faith and is good to others.  I want to try to be more like him and was sad when the book was over.  I highly recommend H.E. Delamare's book.
