Girl Saints for Little Ones Volume 1
Kimberly Fries
Sue Kouma Johnson (Illustrator)
ISBN 9781790593286
I stumbled upon this volume when looking for some prayer cards on Etsy. The one store had a few volumes from this series in the shop. But I had no idea how many volumes were in the Little Ones Series. My own children are well past the age of Children’s books, but I often pick them up to review and donate to the primary school they attended. I also make recommendations to several teacher’s I know. And this volume caught my attention.
The description of this book states:
“Girls Saint for Little Ones includes twelve inspiring saints, complete with a short biography and quote. Filled with vibrant illustrations and a simple text, this book is meant to inspire young girls to deepen their Catholic Faith. In addition, each illustration includes an explanation of a special symbol found in the painting, introducing children to enriching Catholic art. Your child will be excited to follow in the footsteps of these beautiful saints.”
The twelve saints are:
St. Therese
St. Maria Goretti
St. Cecilia
St. Clare of Assisi
St. Elizabeth of Hungary
St. Philomena
St. Gianna
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
St. Brigid
St. Joan of Arc
St. Kateri
St. Clotilde
I have read volumes on all but the last, and have encountered her. I do have a biography on my kindle waiting to be read about St. Clotilde. Each 2 page spread has the page with text about the saint, then a quote or prayer. The facing page has an illustration and a text box, with a one line fact about the saint.
About the author we are informed:
“I'm Kimberly Fries, mom and Catholic author. I live in South Dakota with my husband and three children. Creating Catholic books to help children develop a personal relationship with God, Mary, and the saints has been such a joy for me. I pray that my books greatly bless your family and assist you in your journey to sanctity!”
About the illustrator we are informed:
“Sue Kouma Johnson lives in Nebraska with her husband. After earning her BFA, she devoted her time to raising five children. Now she has taken up her calling as a Catholic artist, painting saints and images that express her love for her Catholic Faith.”
It is a great little volume that I can easily recommend for home, church or school library.
