Fools for Heaven: A Rhyming Collection of Moments from Our Holy Friends -- Stephanie Petters, Hardcover

Fools for Heaven is a collection of 25 children's rhyming poems that imaginatively retell true moments from the lives of our holy friends, the saints. The saints included in this collection lived in different periods of times and locations, each with their own unique path to holiness. They lived with a fire for Christ in their hearts- so much so that people who did not understand them called them fools. Indeed, they were fools... for heaven!

The stories and illustrations are inspired by the silly, poetic style of Shel Silverstein. Children will feel captivated by the excitement of the poems and finish with a desire to learn more about these amazing, holy friends. Other features of the book include:

1) Watercolor illustrations paired with each poem

2) Nameplate in the front allowing children to imagine themselves as a patron saint

3) An appendix containing brief biographies of each saint featured in the book

4) A special prayer at the end highlighting the virtue of each saint
