As much as I considered other books for November, my heart kept returning to my toddler’s baptism and therefore my own book, “Today Is a Baptism Day,” written for families like mine. Although not perfect, it is a starting point for wondering about baptism as a family. Right now we play “find Mommy” in the book. And what struck me this time was the space to personalize your family’s baptism story. Family and friends wrote and drew hopes, memories, and prayers for my toddler on the blank pages in back for him to return to over and over again. The above photo will be glued along with baptism cards within the covers. His book is becoming more than my words and Peter Kruger’s illustrations; it is becoming my toddler’s baptism story.
