    Putting an uplifting spin on a classic poem, this charmingly illustrated and lyrical picture book will help kids—and their parents!—celebrate and prepare for this Catholic rite of passage.

    "T’was the night before Communion,
    Our very first one.
    We had studied so hard
    And now we were done."

    On the night before their First Communion, a brother and sister get ready for this important event. All the family is there--family, grandparents, godparents--to help them prepare for the following day.
    Natasha Wing was born in Milford, Connecticut, in 1960. At the age of 20 she moved to Arizona where she finished college at Arizona State University in 1982 with a BS in advertising. In 1991 she decided to write children’s books. She sold her first book, Hippity Hop, Frog on Top, within six months and has been writing children’s books and articles ever since. The Night Before series began with The Night Before Easter and has grown into a best-selling series of more than 25 titles. She lives in Fort Collins, Colorado. View titles by Natasha Wing
