St.
Therese is one of the Catholic Church’s most loved saints. In Little Saint Therese, Margaret Mary
Myers seeks to introduce children to this wonderful role model. Aimed at a
second to third grade reading level, it features short chapters followed by
multiple choice comprehension questions. It aims to emphasize that St. Therese
is someone children can relate to and imitate.
St.
Therese once said that “from the age of three, I never refused the good God
anything.” Myers offers examples from St. Therese’s life showing her making
simple sacrifices, visiting Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, making her First
Holy Communion and First Confession, praying the rosary with her family, and
thinking about heaven. These are all things that even young children can
imitate.
The book
closes with a novena prayer to St. Therese and a prayer for a child to little
St. Therese. There are also suggestions for further reading.
