A story of true delight for both children and adults! What eloquent prose and artistically illustrated pages throughout the book. The reader is transported to these miraculous days as St. Philomena heroically withstands the miracles of God. What a great book for Catholic schools and families. I plan to continue to gift this to friends with children. This is a true work of God through Fr. Peregrine.

This book is such a beautiful explanation of the incredible life of young St. Philomena and such a magnificent tribute to her life. How important for our children to have her as an example of courage, devotion to Jesus and strong unshakable faith. My children loved following along with the gorgeous illustrations while learning her story, and it sparked meaningful Christ-centered conversations. We now have a dear friend in St. Philomena as we now ask for her daily intercession. This book truly blessed our family!

The illustrations in this book are stunning! I didn't know what to expect when I got this book and reading about the life of Philomena in a poetic form was beautiful. My son chooses this book every night because he loves the pictures so much. I love reading the story so for us its a win-win! This is a beautiful story and one that will withstand time on our bookshelf!
