This delightful book provides twenty-four stories of saints for families to read together, colorful child-friendly illustrations, thoughtful questions for family conversations, prayers to pray together, and coloring pages for children to enjoy.

The Illustrations
Over three years, Karen Canton developed twelve bold and expressive portraits for The Scarlet Cord as seen throughout this website and in the book, using the colors and patterns of Europe’s rich ethnic traditions. Within each painting is a range of historical and faith-based symbols, both abstract and realistic. Paintings are now on sale. To learn more about pricing or availability, contact Anna Geisler at (612) 812-2777. That same vibrancy comes alive below, in her series I Color the Life Feminine.

Reviews
This book is well put together, and kids of many different ages could use it productively. The content is excellent. We’re going to use it for family study around All Saints’ Day, and I can already tell it will work extremely well.

I used this as a jumping off point in a teenage Sunday School class to engage them in research of Episcopal Saints for presentation to the church.
