We Remember Your Baptism
This heartwarming children’s picture book was written by Meta Herrick Carlson and illustrated by Clara Anganuzzi, who dedicated it to their godchildren.
We Remember Your Baptism has a poetic cadence as the father reads a story to his young children about the day they were born.
The story unfolds about the power of water and how, on that special day, God poured forth his love for them and called them by name. Then the father shares what unfolded that day and how water is a connecting thread in the community. There are illustrated glimpses of biblical scenes in which water plays a central role, coupled with contemporary moments in which water serves as a reminder of God’s power and love.
Perfect for a baptismal gift, with a space in the front of the book for the giver and receiver’s names and a photo of the event.
As this publisher often does, they’ve reserved a few pages to support caregivers in teaching children about their baptism and finding ways to talk about it as they grow. This message was written by the author, who is also a pastor, poet, and prolific Christian writer.
