Catholic Church Alpha-Wet Water Reveal Cards
It is hard to keep little ones sitting still and engaged for the duration of mass or adoration. We have zero doubts that God’s graces are pouring out over them, and us, just for being there. But sometimes it’s nice to have a trick or two up our sleeve to give ourselves a few moments of prayerful peace.
When we asked our community on social media last year what your biggest issue is as a Catholic parent- you said it was getting through mass with kids. So we got to work, and are excited to bring you our new Catholic Church Alpha-wet water reveal cards. Children love painting with plain water to reveal the picture, then watch it fade away as it dries!
On the front of each double-sided card children will discover the magical water reveal of an item found inside a Catholic Church. On the back is a beautiful illustration of a beloved Saint that starts with the corresponding letter.
As parents ourselves, we know we wanted something clean, quiet, and for our kids to be engaged with the Church environment- it also doesn’t hurt that getting through all 26 cards keeps kids busy for a while!
Each boxed set includes two refillable water brushes, a removable ring clip, and 26 reusable cards- one side with water reveal and the other with an alphabet of Saints. The perfect addition to any mass or adoration bag!
Our eco-friendly cards are made from gently laminated cardboard- to avoid water damage please do not over-saturate or submerge into water.
Warning: Choking Hazard. Small parts. Not for children under 3.

Donkey That No One Could Ride
"... You will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden."
Bestselling author Anthony DeStefano begins his creative telling of the beloved Bible story of Christ's triumphant entry by introducing the young donkey who has yet to realize his important mission. The lowly creature believes he can do nothing noble, but that's before he meets the Master...
Then Jesus said to the donkey,
"It's time that you knew
About the great thing
That you're destined to do..."
He hears the sad donkey cry,
"Just leave me alone and cast me aside.
I'm just a poor donkey that no one can ride."
Richard Cowdrey's colorful illustrations pair beautifully with Anthony's charming rhymes. Together, they bring this timeless story of the donkey who carries Jesus into Jerusalem to a joyful finish. While especially appropriate as an Easter gift, this year-round story is for all time and for young and old alike.

Friend Who Forgives Storybook: A True Story about How Peter Failed and Jesus Forgave
Over 1 million copies of the Tales That Tell The Truth series have been sold!
Do you ever talk before you think? Mess up? Let others down?
That's what Peter did, again and again and again, and it led him to abandoning his best friend, Jesus.
Peter loved Jesus. He felt terrible when he pretended not to know him. He thought all was lost when Jesus died.
But after Jesus rose from the dead, he went and found Peter and forgave him. He explained that his death took the punishment for all of Peter's mistakes and that his resurrection showed that the penalty was lifted.
Peter spent the rest of his life telling people that if they put their trust in Jesus, they could be forgiven too--again and again and again.
This book points children to Jesus, the friend who will forgive them again and again and again. Makes a great book for Lent and Easter.

Grumpy Old Ox
This new children's Christmas book by bestselling author Anthony DeStefano tells the story of a mean-spirited, prideful old ox who has lost his sight -- both physically and spiritually -- but who nevertheless experiences the transformative power of God's grace after he is present at the birth of Jesus Christ in a humble stable in Bethlehem.
Illustrated by New York Times best-selling artist Richard Cowdrey, this new holiday book teaches children the true meaning of Christmas while explaining the central message of Christianity: that faith in Jesus leads us to resurrection and new life.
Moreover, it shows the profound connection between spiritual pride and blindness. Like the main character in Dickens's A Christmas Carol, this Scrooge of an ox is a slave to his own anger and crippled by his own coldness. He seems destined to live out his days frustrated, unhappy and alone--until he makes a life-altering decision of faith that brings him the miraculous gift of healing and joy.
This uplifting, inspiring book will delight all Christians, though Catholics especially will appreciate its powerful Eucharistic message. Connecting the manger in the stable, from which the ox eats his food, to birth of the Son of God, the story shows that Jesus is the Bread of Life; that he came into the world to feed the hungry, to restore sight to the blind, and to set free those who are captive to sin.
All of this is contained in a 36-page picture book that, with its adorable rhymes and beautiful illustrations, is sure to entertain and enthrall children for years to come.

Jacinta- Shepherd Kids Rosary Chews Life
These rosaries are perfect for your kids that are getting closer to using a traditional gemstone rosary, but are not quite there yet. These Shepherd Kid Rosaries are great because they feature some of those great qualities from our silicone rosaries like durability and soft texture. They also have that great feature of being quiet if dropped. One of our favorite features! How they’re different from our silicone rosaries is that they have smaller beads and have more the look of a traditional rosary.
Not suitable as a chewable toy for children ages 4+
These rosaries are named Shepherd Kid Rosaries for the shepherd children who Mary appeared to a number of different times. This one is named after Jacinta. Jacinta was one of the three children that Our Lady of Fatima appeared to. Our Lady first appeared to the three children, Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia on May 13, 1917. Our Lady asked them to return to the same spot on the 13th of each month for six months. During these apparitions, Mary told the children to learn to read and write and pray the rosary for the conversion of sinners, for Russia, and for peace. On the day of Mary’s final apparition in October of 1917, 90,000 people gathered together.
Jacinta died in 1920 from influenza. In 1951, her body was moved and re-buried in the basilica at Fatima. In 2000 she was beatified and then on May 13, 2017, the 100th anniversary of the first apparition, she was canonized by Pope Francis.

Little Flower: A Spring Stroll Inspired by St. Therese of Lisieux- Shining Light Dolls
Take a stroll through a springtime garden with the little flower, the nickname of St. Therese of Lisieux, and learn that in God's garden, we are each made special and unique!
This lovely little book, written and illustrated by award-winning author and illustrator Chantal Baros, was inspired by the words of St. Therese of Lisieux in her famous spiritual classic, "The Story of a Soul."
"Our Lord has deigned to explain this mystery to me. He showed me the book of nature, and I understood that every flower created by Him is beautiful, that the brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose its springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be enameled with lovely hues. And so it is in the world of souls, Our Lord's living garden." - St. Therese of Lisieux
This beautiful primer is a simple introduction for children to some of the concepts and images found in her work. This special book is filled with beautiful illustrations and a lovely rhyming poem from award-winning author and illustrator Chantal
Baros.
A perfect addition to any mini Catholic library!
A great book for preschool age children.

So begins the journey in Love Is Kind, a charming board book written by bestselling author Laura Sassi and illustrated by Lison Chaperone. This heartwarming story about Little Owl and his quest to buy his grammy a heart-shaped box of chocolates for her birthday is based on the real meaning of love as described in 1 Corinthians 13.
