Mary Fabyan Windeatt was known as “the storyteller of the saints.” In the 1950’s and 60’s, she wrote over twenty histor­ical fiction novels on the saints, bringing to life these holy men and women for young readers across the world.

TAN Books now offers these companion workbooks meant to test your student’s reading comprehension, instruct them on matters of the Catholic faith, and bring them closer to each of these great saints. In this edition, they will come to know the immensely popular St. Rose of Lima, the first canonized saint of the Americas. Rose was the tenth of thirteen children, and received her name due to her natural beauty. But instead of living a worldly life, she practiced heroic charity, car­ing for the sick and poor. Introduce your children to this holy young woman and help them discover why Rose has captured the imagina­tion of the world.
