Book Review.
God's Creatures on the March. BY AARON KHERIATY | MARCH 15, 2010
Reader Reviews:
"THE PURPLES ARE COMING! by Ilow and Sheri Roque is a must have in any Catholic elementary classroom. It is a great book to structure religion lessons around or simply pull off the shelf for an enjoyable afternoon read aloud." ... "My kindergarten students absolutely love this book. They enjoy finding the little critters in the illustrations, especially the ladybugs. It is remarkable to witness these five and six-year-olds use elements from the story and illustrations to teach each other about their faith."
Lisa Wolfer
Kindergarten Teacher
"THE PURPLES ARE COMING! by Ilow and Sheri Roque is a beautifully written story about love, acceptance, and rebirth wrapped around the Christian beliefs of the power of prayer and the power of God’s love. A small diverse group of animals thrill in the glory of the rebirth of tiny purple flowers as they spread through the meadow in spring just like God’s good news is spread through the world by all of us as Apostles. Prayer is made simple making this book a treat for both heart and soul."

"I read this book with my ten year old and it instantly became one of his favorites. He read it on his own at least twice after we read it together (which is very unlike him!) The book itself is hardcover and bound with high quality and the illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I also appreciated the cadence of the text and especially the wonderful names like Dink, Derdle and Ladislaus Molski!
The Catholic message is effectively woven into the storyline and is worded in ways that will prompt your child to ask curious questions about the faith. Perhaps more than anything else, it presents the Church and the Catholic faith in a warm and comforting light. We can give a theological lecture on how the Church is our mother, but this book will make your child feel it. Making your young child feel the beauty of the Church is much more effective than waiting until they're a teenager and trying to convince them. I can't recommend this book highly enough and we look forward to reading its sequel."
