Loyola Kids Book of Saints
By Amy Welborn

The lives of saints for kids . . .

Who are the saints, why are they important, and what can today's children learn from them? In Loyola Kids Book of Saints, the first in the Loyola Kids series, author Amy Welborn answers these questions with exciting and inspiring stories, real-life applications, and important information about these heroes of the church. This delightful collection of saints' lives, written in a storybook style for children eight to twelve, explains how saints become saints, why we honor them, and how they help us even today.

Divided thematically, the book features more than sixty saints from all over the world and from all across time, including our newest saints, such as Katharine Drexel; popular saints, such as St. Anthony of Padua; and Blesseds, such as Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha. Each story tells about a saint and encourages readers to consider how they might apply what they learn from the story to their everyday lives.

Size: 7 x 10 Reviews 'In a friendly, conversational style, [Amy] Welborn presents the stories of more than 60 saints, from Augustine to Wenceslaus...Each biography begins with a catchy idea or question, tells the story in 3-5 pages, then asks the reader a reflective question. Welborn does not limit herself to European saints, but includes a diverse group, up-to-date enough to include St. Katharine Drexel. In addition to being a great reference, this book is perfect for reading aloud to non-readers and will entice those a bit older.' - 12/30/2001 By Catholic News Service '...a wonderful collection of stories about the saints. In story after story we see the central point of holiness - making God a very real part of our lives.' - 11/10/2002 By The Faith Connection
