My kids are younger than yours, but watching them grow in appreciation for the things that I also enjoy has been a beautiful experience of parenthood. I frequently listen to the Beatles channel in the car and my 7-year-old daughter has developed a deep fascination with them, often asking me to share whatever factoids I can recall about the band and asking me if it is John or Paul who is serving as lead singer on whatever track is playing. I'm new to Substack but I loved reading this miscellany and look forward to more!
Haley, Princesses of Heaven looks great! The Catholic little girls in my life will love it! Now we need an introduction to some of the great male saints for little boys to get them interested, and it needs to include Bl. Carlo Acutis in it. I have 8 nephews and one godson, and we need something to introduce them to some of the great male saints. Please tell me something like that is in the works!!!
Thanks! I actually got that one into my local public library system. All the copies of it are currently checked out! I just suggested that Princesses of Heaven be ordered by my local public library system too. We’ll see if they get it….🙂
And to those reading this, please get these quality books into our local public libraries. Most have a suggest an item for purchase form that anyone with a valid library card for that public library system can fill out online to suggest that certain titles be ordered. I’ve done that and they have ordered about 40-50% of the titles I have suggested.

I read Mark Twain’s “Joan of Arc” during Covid. Such a beautiful book. Enjoy!
