The Little Chapel That Stood

I read this title today to a group of children who were just toddlers at the time of 9/11. They were very moved by the story and the illustrations are marvelous. This was a well written account of the day in New York for children to grasp the events that occurred. The ties of the chapel from the past to the present demonstrate to children that there is a future in America despite that terrible day in history.

The latest A. B. Curtiss book is another literary, emotional treat. A special way to share the experience of 9/11 with children, The Little Chapel That Stood is the story of the resilience of the small St. Paul's Chapel and the symbol of hope it represents to us. Before 9/11, the Chapel stood across from the Twin Towers and when the dust cleared, it remained standing intact, not a window was broken.

A beautiful book in all ways; spiritually, historically, and artistically, The Little Chapel that Stood proves that faith and belief can withstand the terrors of a modern day world, engulfed in its own fear and chaos. A must read for anyone strugling to come to terms with the horror of 9/11, especially our younger more tender spirits.Matt P.Carlsbad

This book is inspiring for both children and adults. After facing the terror and horror of 9/11, there suddenly appeared an image that said, " All is well with me. I braved the terrible attacks. I and many others stand firm against those who would bring terror to our land." This symbol of strength and hope remained strong admidst all the destruction. I felt a miracle in the telling, enhanced by the author having beautifully written the story of the little chapel.
