Someone to Watch Over Me
- an essential guide to Godparenting

This new book sets out to explain where the tradition of godparents comes from, what is involved in being a godparent, how parents should choose godparents and the importance of all agreeing on the expectations of the role up-front. Practical ideas for gifts and activities are offered to help the godparent invest in this unique relationship and ultimately enrich both lives.
