Sophie Wonders is a set of 7 books that teaches 4-8 years olds about the sacraments. Sophie is a curious little girl, as little children tend to be. She talks with her mom and others about the sacraments and helps children to glimpse the sacraments through the girl’s sense of wonder. In Sophie Wonders About Reconciliation Sophie is sad because she had a fight with her friend Sarah. Her mom reminds Sophie about her Reconciliation class and suggests that she apologize to her friend. A little girl named Sophie feels sad because she had an argument with her friend. Sophie's mother explains that when we make a mistake, we should say we're sorry and ask forgiveness. She tells Sophie that God gave us the sacrament of reconciliation for when we need to tell him we're sorry so we can make a fresh start. This set of 7 books teaches 4- to 8-year-olds about the sacraments: Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Anointing, Marriage, and Holy Orders.
