You Can Be A Saint: An Early Reader for Catholic Kids

Catholic parents need an engaging early reader that exercises a child's reading skills while introducing them to the real heroes, the Saints! You Can Be a Saint: An Early Reader for Catholic Kids is that resource. This hardcover early reader features over 70 saints.

Organized around the different attributes of sainthood, it will help your developing reader build fluency and a desire for heaven. Every page is brought to life with a colorful child-friendly saint portrait. Inside, your child will meet saints from every corner of the world and every period of history — men, women, and children who were just like them. And woven through every story is one powerful truth: You can be a saint too! Transform Teaching Your Child to Read With You Can Be a Saint, reading practice becomes something that is quietly forming their mind and their heart. They learn to read. They meet the saints. And they begin to understand that holiness is not just for special people in history. It is for them. Just imagine settling onto the couch with your young reader and opening You Can Be a Saint together. They sound out the words and enjoy the colorful pictures. 

As they read, they meet Carlo, Joan, Dominic, and Kateri. They learn about prayer, caring for the poor, the Eucharist, and obeying God’s Law. You watch your child realize, maybe for the first time, that the saints were real, and some were kids! They were like me. Your child finishes a chapter, and you flip back through the pages. You ask which saint they like the best, and the simple conversation that follows focuses both of your hearts on heaven. You used to dread reading practice. Now it is one of your favorite parts of the day. With You Can Be a Saint, your child is practicing reading, but you are also planting the conviction in their heart that heaven is not just for other people — it is for them.
