This work is aimed primarily at children and those involved in their spiritual and educational development, conveying messages of love, obedience, and moral integrity in a simple and heartfelt style. The opening of "Our Gift" sets the tone with a dedication and a preface that highlight the affection the authors hold for their pupils.
