Saint Storybooks

Each storybook is written for children and checked against documented sources - the Vatican and the saints' own shrines and biographies. The pictures are original imaginative illustrations, not historical footage, and every page says where its story comes from. More saint storybooks are on the way; each new one joins this shelf.

Grown-ups can read the fuller lives on the Saints & Blesseds page, the All Saints and All Souls guide, or the full history of Saint Charbel.

What are the Saint Storybooks?

Read-aloud storybooks for children ages 6 to 12, covering saints including Saint Charbel, Padre Pio, John Paul II, Saint Rafqa, and Mother Teresa. Each book opens at the first page and reads to the end, page by page.

What ages are the storybooks for?

Ages 6 to 12 - young enough to listen with family, old enough to read alone. The words are simple, and every page can be listened to as well as read.

Do the storybooks read aloud?

Yes. Every page has gentle narration: press Read Aloud, or start at the first page and let the book read itself to the end.

Are the stories true?

Each book retells the documented events of its saint's life. Where a story includes a reported inner experience or a traditional account, the book's own notes say so plainly.
