It's 40 days after Christmas -- the Feast of the Presentation, or Candlemas -- and the McKinney children's visit to a family friend to secure a special guest for Groundhog Day brings about a story of a long-ago life-and-death adventure steeped in the deep history and meaning of one of Christianity's oldest feasts...and a journey of faith and light in darkness.

"A Candlemas Journey" features the folk art style of Steffi Andrat Faria and the storytelling of Jeff Kenney to weave a tale combining adventure and intrigue with heritage, history, faith, and festivity.

This book is part of the "Sacred Stories Sacred Seasons" series of picture books aimed at artful storytelling towards recovering the beauty and joy of ancient Christian feasts and festivals.
