Saints are real-life heroes and heroines of faith who inspire us by their virtues to become more like Christ. In this series of beautifully illustrated early reader books, these real stories come to life and connect with today’s children, ages 4 to 9. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were a holy family. They respected each other, and loved each other. Most of all, they loved God and put their trust in him. The Holy Family is a model of love and faith for all families.
