For preschoolers through 8 year olds, these picture books depict and were written for thoughtful, curious kids growing into lives of faith.

It is easy to find Christian picture books about holidays, but it can be harder to find books with Christian themes about the modern world.

We love the way the author and illustrator of Around the Circle: Celebrating the Church Year present Ordinary Time.

"Dear Math,
We're drawing numbers and shapes. Ms. Oates calls it math. Isn't that hilarious?
I drew 10 dancing jellyfish and as many 4-sided shapes that I could think of.
At least it's not about right or wrong answers.
I still don't want to be friends.
I have enough friends.
Nikhil"
