Only open if you have a GIRL

Show your kids WHAT nuns do every day!

This is especially great for your GIRLS to see religious life!

With charming rhyming verses, children can see a glimpse of the everyday life of the Benedictine sisters.

Their lives are filled with joy, work, praise — and fun! Experience the excitement of entering the unknown mystery and beginning a new life inside the hallowed walls of the convent.

You will experience the Sisters’ excitement about first receiving their habits, their delight in caring for the elderly Sisters (with wheelchair races!), and their joy in tending the frisky farm animals!

You will marvel at the wonder of postulants as they seek God’s will and at the enthusiasm of novices as they journey toward their final profession as Brides of Christ.

Through heartwarming illustrations and captivating verse, your daughters will encounter nuns in a story like no other, personal and beautiful. 

Why is this picture book so important?

Most kids see priestly vocations on a regular basis (at mass, at various Catholic events, in many picture books, etc.), but many young Catholic girls today don’t have regular interaction with religious sisters and nuns. 

This picture book helps bridge that gap by illustrating the daily lives of nuns, giving young girls an opportunity to peak into a vocation that they may one day feel called to take up. 

If you have a daughter, please put this story into her hands so that she can see the beauty of this uniquely female vocation:

So Many Ways to Be Holy: A Child’s Book about Vocations

One mom shared this: 

“This book is a great one for the toddler/preschool/early elementary crowd! The book continues with various occupations described in rhyming text. Each occupation has its patron saint printed at the bottom of the page. There are colorful photographs of children practicing each profession. Brother, priest, nun, and married life are included! This book presents an imperative topic in a fun, simple way for young children to understand… Preschoolers-elementary students naturally begin thinking of what they want to do when grown, and I love that this book stresses the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit’s prompting in that process and that above all, we’re called to be holy.”
