This lively volume brings together the best of Tomie dePaola's Art Mail—the charming illustrations of feast days and holidays he sent to family and friends. Each piece is accompanied by short passages about the saint or the occasion it represents. Various Catholic customs practiced throughout the world are also described.

This engaging book is sure to inspire the whole family to celebrate with the Church her special days and seasons through the year.

"Tomie dePaola's folk style, with its clean strong lines, bold colors, and distinct shapes, is layered with artistic genius. I would like to think that if Tomie were still alive, he would be especially giddy about this book. In this collection, you'll find vignettes of Tomie's Art Mail, collected like beads on a string to accompany you through Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and the many moons of Ordinary Time."
— Sarah MacKenzie, from the Foreword
