Great book - interesting for children and teens!
Beautiful and informative
We Have a Pope is an excellent, accessible explanation for kids of how the Catholic Church elects a new Holy Father through the guidance of God the Holy Spirit. I purchased this book after Pope Francis died to help my younger children understand the conclave process. The illustrations are intricate with a purposeful choice in color. There is a glossary at the back as well as scriptural evidence for the papacy and common Latin terms. My daughters, ages 8 and 10, really appreciated reading about the process—it was written in a simple yet profound manner. It also includes a prayer for the pope. Well done! I highly recommend this book.
This was the perfect book to read to my class as the Church welcomed Pope Leo XIV! Beautifully written and illustrated, it held 3rd graders attention. It truly is for all ages, though.
Enjoyed reading it to my class, especially since it arrived in time after the election. Thank you for quickly sending my order!
Love this book. It’s perfect for my grandchildren who range from 11 down to 5 years old. The illustrations are colorful and very well done, and the narrative is simple and straightforward. Perfect for any age!
