As promised, here are suggestions on Saint books for kids from the Koop family. Brendan was our parent speaker this month, and since his family’s love for the Saints was so apparent, he got questions on both Saturday and Monday for recommendations.
And remember, you have any recommendations to add to this list, we hope you’ll give details in the comments box!

- Any of the “Encounter the Saints” Series!

- Any of the Fr Lovasik books on the saints. We have a nice box set. These (like the above) have short biographies of many saints, some familiar and some obscure. 🙂
