How can we teach our children to follow Christ and choose kindness, courage, and faith in today’s world?
What Would a Saint Do? introduces young readers and families to beloved Orthodox saints not just as historical figures, but as living, relatable role models for everyday Christian life. Written specifically for young hearts and minds, each chapter pairs inspiring hagiographies with practical lessons that help children connect holy virtues to the daily choices they face at home, in school, and at play.
Rooted in the wider Eastern Orthodox tradition, the book also carries a beautiful Slavic Orthodox influence, introducing children to saints such as St. Seraphim of Sarov and St. Matrona of Moscow. The opening pages feature The Lord’s Prayer (Our Father) in both English and Church Slavonic, offering children a glimpse into the rich liturgical traditions of the Orthodox Church.
Inside this family-favourite volume, you will discover:
Inspiring, Child-Friendly Stories: Engaging accounts of beloved saints—including St. George the Victory-Bearer, St. Seraphim of Sarov, St. Matrona of Moscow, and St. John the Baptist—told in accessible language that children understand and love.
Family Discussion & Reflection: Thoughtful questions at the end of every story designed to spark meaningful dinner-table or bedtime conversations about faith, forgiveness, prayer, and humility.
Hands-On Learning: Interactive colouring pages (included in paperback and hardcover editions) that let children engage with holy traditions through creativity.
Rooted in Holy Tradition: Shows young believers that sanctity is not a distant idea—holiness is real, personal, and something we can strive towards in everyday life.
Ideal for: Bedtime reading, family prayer, daily devotionals, Orthodox homeschool religion units, parish Sunday School lessons, and thoughtful gifts for Holy Baptism, Name Days, St. Nicholas Day, Christmas (Nativity), and Pascha baskets.
A beautiful introduction to the lives of Orthodox saints, encouraging children and their families to ask in everyday moments: “What would a saint do?”
