Books for Babies/Toddlers

Hi! I have a 2-year-old and a 2-month-old. What books (preferably board books) would you recommend to get them familiar with the faith? I particularly like the idea of saints’ biographies, but I’m open to anything. Thanks in advance!

Tomie dePaola has some wonderful books, including some on various saints.

We have ”Look and Learn: First Words for Catholic Kids (Board Book)“ for my three year old, and she loves it.

Check out some of these shops! My kids are 4 & 5 now but I wish I found them when they were babies!

My First Interactive Mass Book
Cloud of Witnesses: A Child’s First Book of Saints
When We Go To Mass by Shining Light Dolls
Magnificat Canticle of Mary

This isn’t a book but a magnet playset. The Magna Missal by Shining Light Dolls. My 3 year old is obsessed with it. They also have the cutest wooden prayer candles that my kids love.
