The Children's Book of Saints
This best-selling and beautifully illustrated book has sold more than 500,000 copies and includes the lives of 52 saints. A perfect gift for children ages 5-8. Parents will want to read the story of their child's patron saint and celebrate their feast day. Older children will be enthralled by the holy men and women who fed the poor, cared for the needy, and loved God. Teachers will share the saints' stories and pray with their students to these holy people. This is how children grow in their faith. The saints of the Catholic Church are not museum pieces or distant legends; they are living witnesses to what a human life can become when fully surrendered to grace. Teaching children about them is therefore one of the most practical forms of moral and spiritual education available.
The saints offer concrete examples of virtue in action. Abstract lessons on courage, chastity, or charity often glide past a child's understanding; the stories of Maximilian Kolbe voluntarily taking another man's place in a starvation bunker, of Maria Goretti forgiving her murderer as she died, or of Thomas Aquinas quietly mastering both faith and reason give those virtues flesh and blood. Children remember stories far longer than precepts, and the saints are the greatest storybook the Church possesses.

The saints normalize heroic holiness. In an age that celebrates celebrity for its own sake, children need models who became famous for self-gift rather than self-promotion. From Francis of Assisi kissing a leper to Thérèse of Lisieux sanctifying diaper changes and dishwashing, the saints show that every state of life--rich or poor, married or consecrated, scholar or laborer--can be a path to greatness in God's eyes.
The saints teach resilience in suffering. Modern childhood is increasingly shielded from hardship; the saints remind children that pain, failure, and persecution are not aberrations but often the very arena where love is proven. Finally, the communion of saints gives children friends in heaven. A child who has adopted a confirmation saint learns to speak to someone who already loves him or her with perfect love and intercedes tirelessly. This friendship combats the isolation so common today and roots prayer in relationship rather than ritual.
In short, the saints do not merely decorate Catholic childhood; they form it, offering vivid proof that ordinary humans can become extraordinary lovers of God and neighbor. To deprive children of their company is to impoverish both imagination and soul.
