What if the saint your child needs most was once a little girl who cried easily, felt left out, loved flowers, and discovered that even the smallest act can become something beautiful when it is done with love?

She loved gathering flowers for Papa and once threw open her arms and declared, "I choose all!" She knew what it was like to lose someone she loved, to be teased at school, to cry when her heart was hurt, and to wonder if she was strong enough. Yet little by little, Thérèse learned to trust Jesus with everything. Her name was Thérèse Martin, and the world would come to know her as Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Always Yes to God is the St. Thérèse book for kids that tells her true story from her snowy baptism in Alençon to her life inside Carmel, her Little Way, and the "shower of roses" she promised from heaven. This is a saint your child can understand.

      THE PROMISE OF THIS BOOK:

      Your child will finish believing that saints were real children, not perfect children, who learned to choose God even when life was difficult, and that "I can walk the Little Way too." This Catholic picture book about Saint Thérèse shows children that sainthood does not require being famous, powerful, or extraordinary. It can begin with a smile, a prayer, a chore done cheerfully, patience when something annoys us, or one hidden act of kindness offered to God. It belongs among Catholic saints for kids books that younger children love to hear aloud and older readers can grow into, a Saint Thérèse Little Flower book that never talks down to them.
