Awaken young children to the joy and mystery of being human! "Your soul is in all you are and do, soul and body-forever you!" Starting at an early age, kids are curious about their existence as human beings. At the primary stage, they wonder about where they came from, who they are as individuals, and how they fit into this world. As adults, it is often difficult to find the right words to explain these complex ideas to them in a way that they can relate to. And in this critical period of individual identity formation, finding those 'right words' is all the more essential. At the most basic level, this resource for Christian faith formation introduces children ages 4-8 to what being human is all about. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or catechist, you will find this resource to be helpful in explaining the concept of a "soul" to your children. Simply structured sentences, engaging text, relatable analogies grounded in nature and creation, and whimsical illustrations invite children to understand and embrace the whole human person.

Your child will learn about the soul's:

-Presence in their every moment, action, and emotion
-Spiritual nature
-Link to their body and physical experiences
-Substance and origin as a gift to them from God
-Commonality to all of humanity, but also its individual
