Saints Like Me by Lisa Hendey is a sweet board book full of big truths made accessible for our little ones. Hendey uses phrases with which my children quickly agreed. For example, when I read, “We don’t have to be grown-ups to be saints.” My six-year-old son replied, “That’s totally true.” Caitlan Rangel, Rest & Rise
