The Snail and the King

Through colorful imagery and beautiful verse, The Snail and the King teaches the necessity of the Holy Trinity through the characters of the King, the Prince, and the Dove.

One mother told us, “My kids and I loved this book! They were able to figure out that the book was about an invitation to all of us to go to heaven but that many of us, for several reasons, choose not to go. It showed the Holy Spirit always present and ready to help us in our journey here on earth.“

Written and illustrated by Fr. Peregrine (who is very busy as the Master of Novoices for St. Michael’s Abbey!), this story is a parable that will draw children in with cheerful pictures while also being introducing them to deep supernatural concepts. 

In this parable, children will be captivated by the cheerful pictures while also being introduced to the deep supernatural message of the story. Katie Warner said, “What a delightful story! Full of faith and hope, Fr. Peregrine Fletcher’s bright and beautifully illustrated new book, The Snail and the King, will fill young (and old!) hearts with greater longing for heaven, and gratitude for our God who calls all of us—great and small—to His Kingdom.”

When Jesus Speaks

From the author of The Light of Christmas Morning comes another charming Catholic children’s book.

When Jesus Speaks convinces each heart that the divine power of Jesus’ word is real, commanding wind and waves, life and death, and then applies that reality to the mystery of the Eucharist. When Jesus speaks, the world obeys.

The illustrations highlight the reality of Jesus’ words, showing how the words of the Last Supper should be taken literally then and at every Mass today.

When Jesus Speaks recalls centuries of the Church’s faithfulness to the Lord truly present in the Holy Eucharist, generation after generation, Mass after Mass, to this very day.
