For ages 7-11, for grades 2-6

Catholic social teaching is not an extra or a frill, but an essential part of the faith, and therefore a necessary part of children’s faith formation.

This focus of this child-and-adult book is stories, with numerous activities and resources to enhance the meanings of the stories. The stories are of real people who acted justly and helped change the world, as well as real situations of children struggling in unjust situations.

These stories:

• teach the Beatitudes
• introduce the teachings of Vatican II
• familiarize children with the seven social justice principle
