To Love Tenderly: Introducing Children to Acts of Compassion and Justice contains thirty-two short, absorbing stories about children and families from many different countries and cultures: from Tanzania to El Salvador, from the United States to Croatia, from Sweden to China. Some are based on real-life situations, others on folk tales. But they all introduce children to the realities of poverty, injustice, and abuse of natural resources, to help them develop a strong sense of identification with children all over the world. The stories are grouped according to age levels (from kindergarten to fourth grade). They can be read aloud, or acted out by the children with simple puppets. There is also information on how to involve children in one or both of two different social justice projects: learning about hunger and learning about child labor. These projects have actually been carried out with groups of children and offer practical and enjoyable learning experiences. Finally, several plays help children put themselves into situations of other children throughout the world whose lives are different from their own. To Love Tenderly: Introducing Children to Acts of Compassion and Justice is an invaluable resource first of all for Catholic school religion teachers, parish catechists, and families. Teachers of geography, social studies, and even literature will also find it a refreshing and unique source of educational material.

History

All children love stories and these wonderful saint stories are no exception. They put children in touch with the key events in the saint s life, but also with the Church s liturgical year since they follow the liturgical calendar. Using symbols and seasons to great advantage, the author creates here beautiful and meaningful moments for sharing these stories.
 She not only offers stories of saints of long ago, but also a variety of creative ways to get to know and celebrate them. These will be fun for children, of course, but they also offer spiritual values that they can apply now as well as later in their lives. She believes that celebrating the saints gives children at least two experiences they rarely encounter, both vital to a healthy spirituality: taking time for reflection and learning the language of symbols. 
 And so, while these stories are enjoyable and active, they also offer time for reflection on the qualities and spiritual gifts that each saint possessed. Those whose stories are told here include Nicholas, Lucia, John Bosco, Bridget, Bernadette, Peter, Martin de Porres, Mary, and twenty-eight others. 
 Whether in a religion class or at home, children will love every one of them.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha: Faith Moments

Novalis

In this book, children aged 8 to 12 can join young Kateri Tekakwitha on her path through tragedy and adventure to triumph and holiness. Beatified in 1980, and sainted in October 2012, Kateri was a happy child from a loving family who was forced to deal with adversity at a tender age: smallpox ravaged her village and took the lives of her parents and brother and left her scarred and weak with poor eyesight. While still appreciating the spirituality of her Mohawk people, Kateri continued to deepen her relationship with Jesus. He was the one who inspired her. The one who comforted and consoled her. Through her devotion to Jesus, this humble, extraordinary young woman became Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, the Lily of the Mohawks.
