Several years ago, Ignatius Press and Magnificat joined forces to launch a new line of beautifully illustrated, high quality, Catholic children’s books. These charming books have captured the imagination of children of various ages through delightful full-color illustrations, exciting stories from the Bible and lives of the saints, and simple yet powerful prayers. Due to the popularity if these books, three beautiful new titles have been added to the collection and are now available for purchase: Let’s Pray the Rosary, A Missal for Little Ones, and Catholic Saints for Children.

Let’s Pray the Rosary

In this colorfully illustrated book,Let’s Pray the Rosary, children ages 6 and up can learn the fascinating history of the Rosary and discover that this devotion has worked miracles and spread faith in every corner of the world.

 The book explains how to pray the Rosary and tells the Biblical scenes of the mysteries in the Rosary, also providing the prayers that children and their families need to start praying the Rosary today. Lovely, four-color illustrations are featured on every page – this makes the perfect gift book for all occasions.
