An Inspiring Picture Book on Saint Carlo Acutis for Children
What if the hero your child has been waiting for isn't on a screen, but was once a boy who loved screens just as much as they do?
He wore sneakers and loved video games. He could have played for hours, but Carlo chose just one hour a week, because he knew the things we love can quietly pull on our hearts. Every morning, he went to Mass and gave his whole heart to Jesus. His name was Carlo Acutis, and at just fifteen, the Catholic Church now calls him a saint.
Carlo Acutis: Jeans, Sneakers, and a Saint is the Carlo Acutis book for kids that tells his true story from his birth in London to his sainthood. This is a boy your child will recognize.
Radiantly illustrated from cover to cover, this full-color Catholic picture book brings every page to life with vibrant artwork, gentle storytelling, and faith-filled beauty children will love.
