Over the years I have rea da number of volumes by Scott Hahn, and I have been blessed by all of them. I picked up this volume without even reading the description. So, I was a little surprised to find out it was a picture book. That being said, it is a wonderful book. This is a volume that would be great for young readers in your life. It would be perfect for any home, church or school library. The description of this volume states:

“Long ago, before time began, the God who sees all laid out a plan;

A plan of love, a plan of grace, a plan to show man His holy face.

Bestselling authors Scott Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman have teamed together to bring the story of Our Lady’s role in salvation to children of all ages with Mary, Mother of All. With attractive illustrations from Tricia Dugat, Mary, Mother of All begins with the story of creation and the Fall and continues with God’s unfolding plan of salvation. Crucial to this plan is a Mother whose love continues to surround us today.

Children—and their parents—will be deeply grateful for this exceptional presentation that makes Catholic teaching on Mary understandable to the tenderest of hearts among us.”

I absolutely loved this volume. The text by Hahn and Emily Stimpson Chapman if wonderfully written. And the illustrations by Tricia Dugat are excellent. My youngest is well beyond picture books but she saw the cover on my Kindle and wanted to give it a read. She loved it as well. She found the illustrations of the serpent especially striking and powerful. It reminds me of the few Board Books Matthew Kelly has written. It is a great volume. It is book I can easily recommend. 

As stated this would be a wonderful addition to any home, school or church library. It would also be wonderful as part of a baptism gift to start building a library for the child. I can easily recommend this book. It has our family seal of approval and heartily recommend it. 

If you wish to buy the book directly from The St. Paul Center do so here.
