Scripture Booklets (Set Two)

After 30 years, and feedback from the catechists who use these beloved texts, we have updated our scripture booklets to better suit the needs of the children of the atrium. In these new Scripture Booklets we’ve included:

• all new calligraphy and illustrations by Joan Bennett, the artist of the Scripture Booklets: Set One
• a cover that is more resistant to the effects of children’s hands
• updated edits based on changes by CGS, inclusive language, and ease of reading
• a Spanish translation on the last page, prepared by Jodi-beth McCain.
• a smaller size (5.5″ x 6.5″) to fit on the shelf and in the children’s hands more comfortably
• a simple drawing on each cover so the children can easily identify the text within

Scripture Booklets isolate texts particularly appropriate for children and presents them with one verse per page so that attention can be given to each idea in the text. The texts were chosen by Sofia Cavalletti. Simply illustrated with only one drawing in each booklet so the child’s reflection will be encouraged but not limited by the artwork.

The color of the covers follows the coding of Sofia’s own hardbound set.
