Review: just beautiful! - This book is by a Hungarian illustrator introduced to me by a student, and I had to search for some of her work in English. It was WELL WORTH the search. This is SUCH a beautiful story and is matched by it's beautiful pictures. A very sweet moral is revealed at the end and its not overly preachy. I will treasure this book!
Review: A wonderful truth, beautifully told - To write a story in fairy tale style to explain the concept of the immeasurable value of one single Mass is a truly inspired idea. The story is gently told, the illustrations beautiful, and it was a well received First Holy Communion present.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A wonderful truth, beautifully told
*by V***E on 13 July 2012*

To write a story in fairy tale style to explain the concept of the immeasurable value of one single Mass is a truly inspired idea. The story is gently told, the illustrations beautiful, and it was a well received First Holy Communion present.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beauty and Substance
*by A***N on 24 August 2005*

Exquisitely written and illustrated, "The Weight of a Mass" is a rare gem of a book that will be appreciated by all ages and even all faiths, because though the theme is Christian, it speaks of the importance of God in our lives, and the triumph of faith over secularism. The story is based on an event that is said to have occurred in Luxembourg butcher shop a few generations ago. In this telling it is placed in a bakery, as Jesus our Lord is the Bread of Life, and there are many other symbolic aspects to the tale, which increase our interest, and add freshness to the story every time we read it. Josephine Nobisso, the author of many books and winner of numerous awards, writes in a lucid style with a rich and varied vocabulary. Not only will this lovely book bolster your child's faith, it will also increase his knowledge and usage of the English language, something that is hard to find these days, and it is one of the many reasons to own this book. Katalin Szegedi began her career as an illustrator in her native Hungary in 1991, and her art that accompanies this story is marvelous in its expressiveness and technical skill. There is a grace and sense of movement in the figures, intricate patterns in the clothing, and terrific perspective and detailing in the architectural structures. The subtle colors are also beautifully balanced and contrasted. I especially like the depiction of the baker's son, who has a lively sweetness in his eyes and mouth, and a lovable innocence. "The Weight of a Mass" has won several awards, and it will touch your heart and lift your spirit. The quality of the book is excellent, with thick semi-gloss paper and sturdy construction for both the hardcover and paperback editions. Inspired and full of beauty, "The Weight of a Mass" is a worthy book choice for the children in your life.
