Description
What if the role models your child needs most aren't celebrities or superheroes—but ordinary people who learned to follow Jesus one day at a time?
Ordinary Catholic Saints for Kids brings 30 inspiring saints to life through engaging, story-driven adventures that show children something powerful: saints weren't born extraordinary. They became holy by choosing to love Jesus in the ordinary moments of everyday life.
Saints are made through ordinary moments, ordinary days, in ordinary seasons.
These aren't just names from long ago or facts to memorize. They were real people with families, friendships, work, school, struggles, mistakes, hopes, and dreams. Some were children. Some were parents. Some were teachers, workers, missionaries, priests, and religious. But each discovered that ordinary life could become a path to extraordinary holiness.
And this isn't just a book to read. It's a screen-free, faith-filled experience designed to help children enjoy the saints, remember their stories, and begin living the virtues they discovered.
YOUR CHILD WILL MEET:
- A computer-loving teenager who used his talents to share his love for Jesus (St. Carlo Acutis)
- A mother who kept praying for her son—even when it seemed he might never change (St. Monica)
- A young man who loved mountains, friendship, jokes, and quietly helping people in need (St. Pier Giorgio Frassati)
- A husband and wife who discovered that work, marriage, and raising a family could become a road to sainthood (Sts. Louis & Zélie Martin)
- A humble doorkeeper who welcomed people with kindness and trusted St. Joseph with their troubles (St. André Bessette)
WHY PARENTS WILL LOVE THIS BOOK:
- Stories, not dry history lessons—written to help kids connect with the saints as real, relatable people
- Real Catholic role models who offer an inspiring alternative to celebrities, influencers, and fictional heroes
- Everyday holiness kids can imitate through friendship, family life, school, prayer, kindness, courage, forgiveness, and service
- Meaningful screen-free engagement that gives children something fun, wholesome, and faith-filled to do away from devices
- Faith-filled formation that helps children grow in virtue rather than simply memorize saint facts
- Catholic faith woven naturally throughout, with Bible wisdom, devotion, and prayer
- Age-appropriate storytelling for boys and girls ages 6–12, with difficult subjects such as persecution and martyrdom handled sensitively and without unnecessary graphic detail
THE MESSAGE YOUR CHILD WILL REMEMBER:
- Saints were real people. They had ordinary lives, personalities, struggles, families, friendships, and challenges.
- Small choices matter. Holiness grows when we choose faith, courage, kindness, forgiveness, prayer, and love in everyday life.
- The saints aren't only heroes to admire—they're examples to follow.
- You don't have to wait until you're grown up to follow Jesus.
- You can become a saint too.
Your child is growing up in a world full of voices telling them who to admire and who they should become.
Give them real heroes worth following and a joyful, screen-free way to discover them.
Because sainthood isn't reserved for a few extraordinary people.
Saints are made through ordinary moments, ordinary days, in ordinary seasons.
