Roses in the Snow
Elizabeth loves to hear her grandmother's stories, and none is more dear to her than the story of her namesake: St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Together the two recall the holiness and charity of this great saint while preparing to celebrate her feast day. Dessi Jackson's lively storytelling voice draws listeners into another time and place, while Lydia Grace's beautiful watercolor illustrations provide a richly detailed delight for the eyes. This charming tale is wonderful to real aloud for the young and young at heart.
Nikola and the Monk
On the mountain lives an old monk,
working out his salvation in prayer and seclusion.
He is just the one to show Nikola the holiness in each moment.
Saint Felix and the Spider
Inspired by the life of Saint Felix, this fanciful tale tells how the course of one man's life is changed by one of God's tiniest creatures.
Based on the story of this third century martyr
and his escape from the Roman persecutors.
