During this preview, you’ll learn about:
•
“All
Things Girl,” based on a series of books by
the same name, which parents are raving about! The
series is co-hosted by EWTN Favorite
Teresa Tomeo,
co-author of the series and
host
of “Catholic Connections” heard daily on EWTN Radio
Network.
As one mother said: “After reading the first book [in
the series], “Friends, Boys and Getting Along,” I
decided it was perfect to start treating the girls like
princesses – daughters of the King. We are having a
“Royal Tea” and are going to make "Family Trees" of our
Royal Family. I'm excited because we have girls from
about 5 - 14. When appropriate, we will split into
different age groups.” (Airs 6 p.m. ET Mondays
and10:30 a.m. ET Fridays.)
