Catholic Churches Big and Small
Written & illustrated by Stefan Salinas
Have you ever been inside of a Catholic church? Travel with a boy, a girl, their father and a nun as they explore the Catholic churches within a single city.
It’s a celebration of religious art and architecture - from the historic, to the modern, to the simple, to the ornate... We will encounter special furniture, statues, shapes, colors, stained-glass windows, murals, tapestries, various cultures,... We will learn why we attend church, and much, much more!
"This unique introduction to churches is highly recommended for elementary-age children."
- Sooner Catholic, Oklahoma City Archdiocese.
"A fantastic book. A simple storyline only adds to the stunning imagery. Simple words that roll off the tongue."
- Epiphanies of beauty
"The illustrations are detailed yet whimsical.The story is entertaining yet informative. Each page is a little work of art."
- Catholic All Year
"I really don't think I can say enough about the illustrations to do them justice."
