EXTON, Penn., June 22, 2021 /Standard Newswire/ -- Following the recognition of 11 finalist titles announced in April for the "Excellence in Publishing Awards," Catholic publisher Ascension has announced that "My First Interactive Mass Book" has achieved first place in 2 categories: Children's Picture Books and Spanish resources.

The goal of the "Excellence in Publishing Awards," as stated by the Association of Catholic Publishers (ACP), is to "recognize the best in Catholic publishing," with a strong emphasis on a resource's quality. "My First Interactive Mass Book" took its prizes from a field of 95 finalists.

"Taking little ones to Mass can be really challenging," explains author Jennifer Sharpe. "I wanted children everywhere to not only understand the meaning behind various parts of the Mass, but also come to appreciate how in the Mass Jesus shows us just how much he loves us. This profound love is what makes the Mass so wonderful!"

My First Interactive Mass Book won Ascension's first-ever ACP award in the Children's Picture Book category, demonstrating the high quality of the publisher's new product line for Catholic children, launched in October 2020: Ascension Kids. The Ascension Kids collection features a variety of children's resources for ages toddler to 12.

Customers are raving about the book, writing 100 reviews on the company's website with an average rating of 5 stars. "My six-year-old was still having trouble sitting through Mass," comments Eileen, a "My First Interactive Mass Book" purchaser. "This book really helped her to understand what is going on and what it all means instead of just being asked to sit quietly for an hour. Wish I had found it sooner!"

"My First Interactive Mass Book" is intended for children ages 3+ and is available for purchase on the Ascension website for $14.99. It is sold in both English and Spanish.
