Book Overview

The Life of Mary for Children

The Life of Mary for Children is a simple story that gives the highpoints of Our Lady's life, mission, fiat, and assumption with full-color artwork. Parents and teachers can read it to young children so that they will know how much God loves them. They will learn about Mary's obedience and motherhood for them and begin their life-long journey of faith.

Teaching children the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary offers profound, multifaceted value that shapes their character, intellect, and worldview. Rooted in the Gospels and Church Tradition, Mary's story--from her Immaculate Conception to her annunciation, visitation, nativity role, sorrows, and assumption--serves as a timeless narrative of humility, trust, and intercession. For young minds, this isn't mere history; it's a blueprint for faithful living and spiritual resilience.

Mary's examples, like the Magnificat or the Wedding at Cana, teach humility, intercession, and generosity in accessible ways. Children learn to prioritize service over pride, fostering prosocial behavior. Studies from child psychology, such as those in the Journal of Moral Education, show that narrative-based moral instruction enhances ethical decision-making more effectively than abstract rules. By emulating Mary's interactions with the vulnerable--Elizabeth, the apostles, her Son--she models mercy.
