Loyola Kids Book of Saints

2001 · Amy Welborn · Saint biographies, collection

Recommended. Age: 8+. A Catholic review of this book for parents.

Our review

Welborn tells each saint's life plainly and then turns to the child with a question about his own. Sorting saints by what they did shows that holiness has many shapes and that every child has one to grow into. The reservation is that Lumen has not read the text. A reader reports that martyrdoms are told truthfully without gory detail.

For parents

Read aloud from 6. Independent reading from 8, the age Good Books for Catholic Kids and the 8-12 listing both give. Good for a saint a day in Lent. Ask which group of saints your child would belong to. Ask what one thing that saint would do in your house today.
