Praying with My Fingers: An Easy Way to Talk with God
Inspired by Pope Francis
Thank you God for loving me...thank you that you hear me when I pray.

Easter Bunny's Amazing Day
From the heart of two St.
Louis sisters, comes a new story of the very first
Easter Bunny. Easter Bunny’s Amazing Day introduces
young children everywhere to a fearful bunny who has an
amazing experience on the first Easter morning that
changes him forever. In his own words, the Bunny shares
his story; a tale of action, adventure, miracles and
great love—all beautifully illustrated by Saint Louis
artist, Jonathan Sundy.
The response to the tale so far has been remarkable.
As it turns out- this book is appealing to the heart
of the child of any age. Adults are saying, “I never
teared up before reading a children’s book.” A
mother writes, “My children were immediately drawn
into this story by the beautiful and endearing
illustrations. This narrative is a wonderful way to
communicate the religious meaning of Easter through
our cultural idea of the Easter Bunny. It will be a
favorite in our house for years to come!” An older
man with some dementia is now reading the book two
to three times a day because it calms him.
Pre-school and elementary teachers love the book
themselves and are grateful to finally have this
unique story of the first Easter that includes
everyone’s favorite bunny. Even a ten year old boy
commented, “This is a good book.”
First time authors,
Carol Benoist and Cathy Gilmore are delighted! They
set out to write a simple story, but they just might
be transforming the way that young children
experience Easter. For every child who is stuffing
his or her cheeks with jelly beans and chocolate
bunny ears, it’s as if the sisters lean in to
whisper, “But wait, there’s more…” Easter Bunny’s
Amazing Day is a gift to us all.

Who was the first pope? Who is the pope today? What does
he do? And why do we need one anyway? The answers to these questions and
more can be found in this beautifully illustrated book for children.Our
Holy Father, the Popetakes
us back to the time of Jesus so that we can learn about the origins and
role of the Papacy.
The storybook format begins with the Gospels: Jesus calling Simon, Jesus
renaming him Peter, meaning "rock", and giving him the keys to the
kingdom, and so on. It follows Peter as Jesus suffers, dies, and rises
from the dead for all mankind. The descent of the Holy Spirit, the birth
of the Church, and the death of Peter himself for the sake of Jesus also
are described.
The Church carries on with a new leader to replace Peter, as she has
down through the centuries to our own day. As children will learn from
this book, although the Church has adapted to the times, the tasks of
our modern popes are not that different from those of Peter.
The book includes brief biographies of some famous popes, a list of all
the popes from Peter to the present, and a bibliography.
Includes beautiful and inspiring illustrations by renowned French
illustrator Emmanuel Beaudesson.

Calling: 365 Devotions for Kids
By Sarah Young
Devotions written as if Jesus is
speaking directly to a child's heart. Based on her original Jesus Calling, this version has
been adapted in a language and fashion that kids and tweens can
relate to their everyday lives. After many years of writing in her
prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with
pen in hand, writing down what she believed He was saying to her
through Scripture. Others were blessed as she shared her writings,
until people all over the world were using her devotionals. They
are written from Jesus’ point of view, thus the title Jesus
Calling. It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless
readers, and now young readers, with His presence and His peace in
ever deeper measure. Hardcover.

Beginnings
by Lori Ann Watson
In your beginning—yes, in your beginning,God thought of you,
and he loved you. A tiny seed
grows into a majestic tree. A small caterpillar flutters from the
cocoon as a beautiful butterfly. A fragile egg cradles the new life
of a baby robin. And a much-loved child is nurtured within a
mother’s womb.
Beginnings
is a fresh new way to teach children about the value of life at
every stage. Gorgeous illustrations take little ones through all of
the wondrous beginnings of God’s creations—a seed becomes a pine
tree, a yellow blossom becomes a tomato, a spring becomes a river.
Beginnings
emphasizes the value of human life by reassuring children that God
has loved them all along, from the very beginning.

The Book of Saints & Heroes
The first Christians to visit Europe and the British Isles
met pagans who told tales of fairies, talking beasts, and other
wonderful things. To these marvelous stories, they soon added new
ones about the Christian saints. Some were true, others improbable,
and many simply fantastic. In the ones we include here, you’ll meet
the saint who spent seven Easters on a whale’s back and the amiable
lion who was St. Jerome’s friend. You’ll see St. George fight the
dragon, and you’ll read about the fierce wolf St. Francis of Assisi
converted.
But many of these stories have
in them scarcely a wave of the fairy wand. So you’ll also find here
true tales of great saints such as St. Louis of France, St. Vincent
de Paul, St. Francis Xavier, and St. Elizabeth of Hungary — souls
marked by courage, kindness, and piety.
These marvelous legends and exciting
true stories of Christian saints and heroes will provide many hours
of delightful reading to believers and non-believers alike! 336

This Little Light
Lessons in Living from Sister Thea Bowman
by Michael O'Neill McGrath
A
moving and joyous celebration of Sister Thea Bowman, her vision for
the church, and her model of humanity.
Sister Thea Bowman (1937-1980), an African-American Franciscan, is
one of the great treasures of the American Catholic church. Through
her integration of Catholic tradition and black pride she serves as
a beacon for a church that celebrates diversity, inclusiveness, and
love for all God's children. Through her ministry of public speaking
she touched countless people, bearing a message of faith and hope
rooted in the Gospels and the wisdom of the Spirituals. Through her
final ordeal with cancer she offered an inspiring example of what it
means to be ?fully alive,? and to ?live until one dies.?
Mickey McGrath is among the many whose life was changed by her
witness and story. Inspired by her message that God wants each of
one of us to let our little light shine he found his own vocation as
a religious artist. Here, through a series of 12 stunning paintings
and his reflections on her life and teaching, McGrath celebrates the
spirit of one of the great prophets and spiritual guides of our
time. It is a message that makes one rejoice in life and say Amen!
Brother Michael O'Neill McGrath, an Oblate of St. Francis de
Sales, is an artist, writer, and popular speaker. His work has been
featured in many books, including Women of Mercy, Blessed Art
Thou, and Patrons and Protectors. He lives in
Philadelphia. 96 pages, hardcover.

The Cure of Ars
by Milton Lomask
Milton Lomask contributes his second volume to the Vision Books series of
saints for youth 9 - 15 years old in this story of the greatly beloved Curé
of Ars. Jean-Marie Vianney, a farm boy born during the French Revolution,
longed to become a priest. But he could not learn Latin, and it seemed as if
the humble, lovable, slow-thinking Jean-Marie would never be ordained. He
did at last become a priest, and such a holy one that St. Jean-Marie Vianney
is invoked as the patron saint and model of parish priests everywhere. To
many he is known, not by name, but simply as "the Curé of Ars," the parish
priest who devoted his life to the little village of Ars and so successfully
led his people to sanctity that he became a prime target of the devil.

NEW! Jesus
Loves Me Board Book
by Joni Walker
This board book for very young children introduces
them to some of God's other children and points out the differences among
them. It gently encourages the young child to look beyond his immediate
environment and known world and to discover more of God's creation. It also
clearly identifies Jesus as Savior, who died and rose again on Easter as our
Redeemer.
Developed for children ages 1 to 4, this book depicts
scenes and people from everyday life that will show the young reader God's
wonderful creativity. The illustrations show a variety of children; the text
explains that all people are created by God and that Jesus came as their
Savior. Each page states a biblical truth in simple, child-friendly language
and illustrates it by showing things young children will recognize and
understand. This will help toddlers begin to individuate--that is, to begin
to see themselves and others as separate and unique. By so doing,
"Jesus Loves Me" teaches the young child to appreciate God's
beautiful and varied creation and to comprehend the presence and power of
Jesus in their lives.
This book will use an art style that is pleasing to very
young children, but will incorporate it along with age-specific text to
communicate the significance of Jesus’ saving work in the lives of God’s
forgiven and redeemed children. (Item #81273) $5.99

immediately helps them become familiar with the worship space.
Special faith-building features include mass responses (up-to-date and
indicated in red); simple icons that show when to sit, stand, kneel;
illustrations of traditional gestures and postures; 16 activities that
explain the parts of the Mass.
With activities on the left-hand pages and Mass prayers on the right,
parents can easily help children find their place with little interruption
of their own prayer experience. Once complete, the book becomes a personal
keepsake to use week after week. Welcome, Children! can help prepare
children for First Eucharist - or reinforce participation at Mass for those
who already receive Communion. It's a great resource for RCIA too!
