My daughter recently sent me a short video of her oldest child reading a book. The sing-songy rhyme was punctuated by his delighted laughter as he pointed to each line as if he knew the words. I was flooded with memories of when his mother did the same with the very same book.
This precious boy loves books, and I look forward to the day I can introduce him to my favorites. In the meantime, his favorites are my favorites.
I’d like to share two of my current favorites for those of you who have special little ones in your life. First is the board book, Saints Like Me by Lisa M. Hendey and illustrated by Katie Broussard. It’s the perfect introduction to little virtues for little saints-in-the-making, filled with child-sized examples of living a virtuous life. Perfect for your little saints ages 1 through 3. And if your precious ones are a little older and ready for deeper conversation, you’ll want I’m a Saint In the Making. I highly recommend both!
