Her illustrations are lovely. We also have these little blue paperback books I think I got from a local Catholic bookstore - they are called Miniature Stories of the Saints by Rev. Daniel Lord - the kids sometimes page through them and ask me to read about the saints that look "cool." I know many people really like the Book of Saints series (10 books) from Fr. Lawrence Lovasik, but I personally haven't seen them. <br /><br />However - and I guess it depends on the child - my kids wouldn't pay much attention if I just read the short, kind of dry, paragraphs you usually find in these collections. We much prefer whole picture books, of which there are many once you start to look, as well as the series "Once Upon a Time Saints" by Ethel Pockocki. They seem to be more willing to listen to a story of a saint while coloring a picture of the saint - there are tons of Saint coloring pages on line! <br /><br />If you want to start somewhere fun - the Feast of St. Martin de Porres is coming up on the 3rd. You can order a picture book about him called "The Pied Piper of Peru" (Ann Tompert) through the local library system. It's just one small story taken from his life, but it's a place to start. We all really enjoy the book.<br /><br />One last thing - have you heard of the Glory Story series of CD's from Holy Heroes. They are audio stories/dramas of the lives of several saints. Most of them are very well done. My kids love them and have learned a TON! I highly recommend them. You used to be able to buy some of them in an MP3 version from Amazon, but it doesn't look like that's the case anymore. Check out HolyHeroes.com<br /><br />Hope something here helps! God bless!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09440812661317797011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377582441405318696.post-32144937347339860062013-11-01T02:11:24.493-04:002013-11-01T02:11:24.493-04:00Adorable!
