Around 1628, during the Thirty Years' War, a small statue of the Infant Jesus was given to a Carmelite monastery in Prague. The monastery was soon abandoned when an army invaded the city. In 1637, Father Cyril found the broken statue and heard the words, "The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you." Today, many people visit Prague to see the statue, and replicas of the statue can be found in churches and homes around the world. Reading this story can encourage us to follow in the footsteps of those who have had a devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague. Like them, we can honor Jesus by our life, by our good example, and by our prayers.

Level 2 books are about 90-96 pages each and are written for about a fourth grade reading level or higher, although some third graders are able to read them as well because of the large print size and double spacing between lines. This series has books about well-known saints, but it also includes stories about saints and other Catholics that you don't hear about very often.
