"The brilliance of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not lessen the perfume of the violet or the sweet simplicity of the daisy. I understood that if all the lowly flowers wished to be roses, nature would lose its springtide beauty." — Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
Gemma is discouraged because all her friends seem to have more impressive talents than she does, and she can't figure out what makes her special. To cheer Gemma up (and maybe help her discover her gift), her mom takes Gemma and her sisters to the botanical gardens. The marvelous flowers — all so different but all so wonderful — help Gemma to see that God gave each of us our own special gifts, which he wants us to share with others. Sometimes those gifts can be hard to see, and it can take someone who loves us to show us the value of our joy, kindness, and generosity.
Beautifully illustrated with an uplifting message, God's Little Flowers is a wonderful way to show young girls that they are each bestowed with particular gifts from being made in the image and likeness of God. Through this book, every girl may come to rejoice in the glorious reality of God's unending love for her.

The Women Doctors of the Church is a beautifully illustrated introduction for children to four extraordinary women who have helped shape the Church. Saint Hildegard of Bingen, Saint Teresa of Ávila, Saint Catherine of Siena, and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux all faced unique challenges in their lives but fixed their identities firmly in Christ and became incredible examples of holiness.
The delightful story of how St. Thérèse learned to be the "little flower" in God's garden, and that even the smallest thing, when done with great love, is precious in God's eyes. This is the perfect introduction to the "little way" that children will treasure. Includes a biography of the beloved saint.
St. Therese of Lisieux once said, "The splendor of the rose and the whiteness of the lily do not rob the little violet of its scent nor the daisy of its simple charm." What a perfect message for children from a saint nicknamed "The Little Flower." In I Am Little, Too, young readers will meet Saint Therese of Lisieux and learn just how special it is to be yourself.
When Mary Says Yes helps children to connect with Our Lady and see how to imitate her beautiful, virtuous life. In this heartwarming story with charming illustrations, readers learn that saying yes to God is the foundation for holiness and a joyful life of unexpected graces.
