A Friend From Heaven

A Friend From Heaven by Sherry Fanous is a children's book for ages 0 to 5 that encourages children to build a real friendship with the saints, through the friendship between St Mina and Pope Kyrillos.

As you read together, encourage your child to think of ways to talk with their own patron saint. Reading stories like this is one way. Others include singing hymns, colouring pictures of the saint, decorating their icons and talking about their virtues.

Ask your child whether they have ever faced a situation where they needed a saint's help. Explain that when we love the saints and grow close to them, they are always near us.
