Books form kids' Catholic identity and worldview – or they don't
Story has the power to grow a child’s imagination, teach them about virtue, and create lasting family memories. But finding the right books can be overwhelming. Parents are left navigating:
- Hours spent researching, reading reviews, and second-guessing titles
- Recommendations that overlook Catholic teaching or formation
- Stories that are well-intentioned but fall short in language, beauty, or theology
- Limited time to thoughtfully vet every book before bringing it into the home
We’ve done that work for you, so you can spend less time researching and more time reading together.
