"Before school age, I had only a few books to browse through. One of these had a black and white picture of a saint on each page for all 365 days of the year and was called the Little Pictorial Lives of the Saints by Benziger Brothers. I wore it ragged trying to figure out each picture. Now I am quite familiar with these saints, but the grace of God in their lives is always a wonderful mystery. I hope this holy card picture book intrigues you into reading more about the saints and asking them to help you."--Anna May McCallum
