Dear Papa: Children Celebrate Pope John Paul II with Letters of Love and Affection

. Liguori/Triumph, $14.95 (128pp) ISBN 978-0-7648-1097-8

In the mold of the international bestseller Children's Letters to God, Liguori/Triumph offers Dear Papa: Children Celebrate Pope John Paul II with Letters of Love and Affection. Compiled by Richard and Virginia Klein, the book is by turns funny and touching, featuring children's notes and artwork. ""I read that you liked to ski when you were younger,"" writes one eight-year-old. ""Is it hard for you to ski in a dress?"" And Dylan writes: ""Since you are in Italy, how come the Popemobile isn't a Ferrari or a Lamborghini?"" The book will be a light, humorous counterbalance to the heavy fall titles commemorating the pope's silver jubilee.
