A few years ago we read Cloud of Witnesses: A Child&#039;s First Book of Saints and loved it. Both my daughter and I loved this book. She read it to me three days in a row. And has already shared it with her friends down the street. It is a fantastic read, and we will be tracking down other works from Katie to read. The description of this volume is:\r\n\r\n“Your little one will love the story of this spirited young girl and her bold dreams to become a saint, book and broom in hand. Filled with bright and colorful illustrations, whimsical rhyme, and a powerful lesson, you and your child will want to read this book again and again! \r\n\r\nThis is the story of Lily Lolek.\r\nThere was nothing that she wanted more\r\nThan to love with her might\r\nAnd to burst with God’s joy\r\nTil the day she reached heaven’s big door. \r\n\r\nBut is being a saint as tough as it seems?\r\nLily wonders inside of this book.\r\nHear what this priest says about Lily’s bold dreams...\r\nThere’s a lesson we shan’t overlook.”\r\n\r\nThe story follows Lilly. She dreams of being a saint. But when a friend makes a comment about not being able to be a saint. She loses some of her shine. But after a priest comes for dinner her goal of becoming a saint is stronger than ever. The book gives a lot of examples of different saints. And also reminds us that we are all called to be saints. The saints highlighted in the volume are:\r\n\r\nDamien of Molokai\r\nThomas Aquinas\r\nMary, The Mother of God\r\nBernadette of Lourdes\r\nElizabeth of Hungary\r\nKing David\r\nScholastica\r\nBenedict\r\nPhilip Neri\r\nJoan of Arc\r\nFrancis of Assisi\r\nMaria Goretti\r\nAugustine of Hippo\r\nDominic Savio\r\nMartin de Porres\r\nJane Frances de Chantal\r\nTherese of Lisieux\r\n\r\nThe book is an excellent read. The illustrations are wonderful. The style is both bright and vibrant. The book ends with a litany that is great to pray and use to help your child create their own. This book was an instant family hit. It is great for the young ones in your life. And as a reminded to all of us, to strive to be saints. We highly recommend it.","date":"Dec 26th 2023"},{"name":"Tiffany S.","rating":"5","title":"Fantastic Children;s Book","text":"We ordered this book for our two year old daughter and she loves it!

This is the story of Lily Lolek.
There was nothing that she wanted more
Than to love with all her might
And to burst with God’s joy
Til the day she reached heaven’s big door. 
 
But is being a saint as tough as it seems?
Lily wonders inside of this book.
Hear what this priest says about Lily’s bold dreams...
There’s a lesson we shan’t overlook.

    The kids loved it.

    Posted by Steven McEvoy on Dec 26th 2023

    This was the second Katie Warner book we have read. A few years ago we read Cloud of Witnesses: A Child's First Book of Saints and loved it. Both my daughter and I loved this book. She read it to me three days in a row. And has already shared it with her friends down the street. It is a fantastic read, and we will be tracking down other works from Katie to read. The description of this volume is: “Your little one will love the story of this spirited young girl and her bold dreams to become a saint, book and broom in hand. Filled with bright and colorful illustrations, whimsical rhyme, and a powerful lesson, you and your child will want to read this book again and again! This is the story of Lily Lolek. There was nothing that she wanted more Than to love with her might And to burst with God’s joy Til the day she reached heaven’s big door. But is being a saint as tough as it seems? Lily wonders inside of this book. Hear what this priest says about Lily’s bold dreams... There’s a lesson we shan’t overlook.” The story follows Lilly. She dreams of being a saint. But when a friend makes a comment about not being able to be a saint. She loses some of her shine. But after a priest comes for dinner her goal of becoming a saint is stronger than ever. The book gives a lot of examples of different saints. And also reminds us that we are all called to be saints. The saints highlighted in the volume are: Damien of Molokai Thomas Aquinas Mary, The Mother of God Bernadette of Lourdes Elizabeth of Hungary King David Scholastica Benedict Philip Neri Joan of Arc Francis of Assisi Maria Goretti Augustine of Hippo Dominic Savio Martin de Porres Jane Frances de Chantal Therese of Lisieux The book is an excellent read. The illustrations are wonderful. The style is both bright and vibrant. The book ends with a litany that is great to pray and use to help your child create their own. This book was an instant family hit. It is great for the young ones in your life. And as a reminded to all of us, to strive to be saints. We highly recommend it.

    This is a very cute story and cleverly works in many saints. It does get a little wordy towards the end but we love the litany of the saints on the last page!
