A sensitive little girl, a hidden life of love, and the Little Way that changed the world.
What if the saint your child needs most was once a little girl who cried easily, felt left out, loved flowers, and discovered that even the smallest act can become something beautiful when it is done with love?
She loved gathering flowers for Papa and once threw open her arms and declared, “I choose all!” She knew what it was like to lose someone she loved, to be teased at school, to cry when her heart was hurt, and to wonder if she was strong enough. Yet little by little, Thérèse learned to trust Jesus with everything. Her name was Thérèse Martin, and the world would come to know her as Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Always Yes to God is the St. Thérèse book for kids that tells her true story from her snowy baptism in Alençon to her life inside Carmel, her Little Way, and the “shower of roses” she promised from heaven. This is a saint your child can understand.
St. Thérèse of Lisieux: Always Yes to God is a beautifully illustrated Catholic biography for children ages 6 to 12, following the Little Flower from her snowy baptism in Alençon through childhood joys and losses, her determined journey to Carmel, her discovery of the Little Way, and her final promise of a “shower of roses.”
Content Note: gently addresses the death of Thérèse’s mother, childhood illness, grief, Thérèse’s final illness, suffering, and death, framed throughout with Catholic hope and trust in heaven.
