What People Are Saying

“The Beatitudes are among the most important lessons for little ones, but one of the most difficult topics on which to find books. Rachel and Ted’s newest book provides a much-needed and welcomed perspective on the Beatitudes for children. I love the incorporation of the saints and the pure reverence of the illustrations. The book is, as its title suggests, a reason to Rejoice and Be Glad!”
Gracie Jagla
Author of The Night the Saints Saved Christmas and Jesus and the Miracle of the Mass
“Using language that is both practical and beautiful, Rejoice and Be Glad shares the Beatitudes in an approachable way for children. Words and illustrations open a window into the life of a saint who exemplified each Beatitude, offering a model to follow. The companion Scripture passages and saint biographies round out a resource that can be turned to again and again for reflection and prayer. This book will become a staple in my classroom!”
Katherine Bogner
Catechist and Author of Through the Year with Jesus and We Have a Pope
