Building a Library
of Orthodox Children's Books:
The top 100 favorite Orthodox children's books of the editors of Saint Kosmas Orthodox Education are being presented to you one book at a time as a regular feature of our bi-monthly newsletter. We hope that for families just starting an Orthodox children's library in their home, the pace of this presentation (two or three books per month) may be a realistic pace for collecting the books. The sequence that the books are presented does not imply any rating or hierarchy. However, we are putting forth first the books that are the most foundational to your child's early catechism in the Orthodox faith.

Publisher: The Saint John of Kronstadt Press (2000)
The Old and New Testament highlights presented in 2-4 page chapters
with full page line illustrations.
A valuable addition to Orthodox books for children (approx. age 8-12).

“One reason I think it is particularly important for us
to talk about this now is that we may be the last generation that can remember life before.”
