The exquisite illustrations throughout will inspire conversation and prayerful reflection for readers of all ages. Each image appears with a brief, child-friendly explanation coupled with a more detailed description on the opposite page. From the sign of the fish to the Stations of the Cross, from the palm branch to Our Lady of Guadalupe, Loyola Kids Book of Catholic Signs and Symbols will enable children and adults to experience faith with curiosity and wonder. 2019 Illumination Book Awards, Gold: Education 2019 Independent Press Awards, Winner: Children's Religious Non-Fiction 2019 Catholic Press Association Book Awards, First Place: Children's Books and Books for Teens: Children's Books 2019 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards, Gold: Religion/Spirituality 2019 Best Book Awards, Finalist: Children's Religious 2020 International Book Awards, Finalist: Children's Religious
