Today, I review three children's books, each with a different audience and vastly different themes.

Julia had a special devotion to the Sacred Heart and was a daily Mass-goer. After the death of her employers, she decided to devote her remaining days to charity.

If you are looking to broaden your understanding of the contributions of Africans and African Americans to the life of the Church, I definitely recommend Saints of Africa and Black Catholics on the Road to Sainthood. Both have earned a spot upon my bookshelf.

Sister Anne's Hands tells the story of a Catholic schoolgirl's first encounter with racism in the 1960s when an African American nun comes to teach at her parochial school.

If you are new to homeschooling, it is important to realize your options and not feel bound by the programmatic approach you are accustomed to from institutional schools.

C.S. Lewis once said, “A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.” Literature that speaks to "the kid at heart" may be marketed to children, but its appeal is often universal.
