Saints are real-life heroes of faith who inspire us by their virtues to become more like Christ. In the Saints and Me! series, these beautifully illustrated early-reader books tell the real stories of saints that come to life and connect with today's children aged 4 to 9.
The everyday lives of the saints and their holy ways are engagingly introduced for curious young children. The saint's story is filled with details to which young children can relate.
Lively, full-color illustrations on every page match the text, aiding emerging readers with the text and story sequence.
Each book is biographical, and includes the saint's feast day and other details about the saint.
