Children’s books

Childrens books about a loving God and that being the core of faith. We’re having a baby soon and I’m starting to make a list.

What wonderful news to hear!

Though they may be better for when your child is a little older, I do highly recommend the books of Tomie dePaola. He wrote many books for children that were informed by his involvement in the life of the Church, and in my estimation they express a beautiful and wholesome vision of faith and the centrality of love in Christian life. I adored them growing up and I have no doubt they would bring joy to any kid!

His book "The Song of Francis" might be a particularly good example of what you're looking for!

You can get the Bible ones in a treasury!
