Catholic Books for Kids

Reading is so important in our family! It’s a way to experience different cultures, lifestyles, eras, and even worlds without leaving your home. We have been curating a beautiful collection of books for our family, all meant to supplement faith education. I’ve been inspired by so many people, most of all an amazing moms group that I’m part of. This list is an ever-growing compilation of our favorite books! We have special books we read on feast days (and other key liturgical seasons), and others that we read year round. Books that are tied to a feast day are marked with a * below; no star means they can be read anytime (but we love creating a tradition for some non-feast day books and reading them on the same day each year!). Each link takes you, via affiliate, to Amazon. Do you have favorites? I’d love to hear what they are! …and check back soon, as I’ll be adding our favorite Lent and Easter books shortly!
