From the writer of The Children’s Book of Angels comes another lovely picture book!
Our home is currently abuzz with discussion around All Saints’ Day and what saint everyone should dress up as! This picture book arrived at our door as the perfect addition to our conversations–my 4-year-old is obsessed!
Maggie and Max can’t wait for the All Saints’ Day party! There will be games and candles and treats…and costumes! The children just have to decide WHAT saint to dress up as–who will they choose? Together, the siblings ask friends and family for suggestions, discovering wonderful saints along the way!
A few saints that make appearances in this story:
- St. Martin de Porres,
- St. Dominic Savio,
- St. Teresa of Avila,
- St. Joseph,
- St. Elizabeth of Hungary,
- and St. Josephine Bakhita!
BONUS: Each book comes with a FREE Saint sticker sheet!
Another NEW seasonal picture book that your family needs this year!
This stunningly illustrated book gives children an unforgettable vision of Heaven while introducing them to how each saint will assist in the celebrations!
The most beloved saints and angels make appearances in Christmas in Heaven, all doing the things they’re best known for:
- St. Honoré, patron saint of bakers, is making Jesus’ birthday cake
- St. Cecilia, patron saint of music, is leading the choir
- St. Lucy, patron saint of the blind, is lighting the Christmas tree
- St. Gabriel is blowing his horn
- St. Nicholas is leaving presents under the tree
- St. Thérèse is giving out flowers
- St. Francis is surrounded by little animals
- St. Patrick is handing out shamrocks
As a grandfather tells his grandson about how Christmas will be celebrated in Heaven, the family finds comfort in the theological virtue of hope — praying that grandma will be celebrating Jesus’ Birthday in Heaven with the Saints and angels.
