A Little Catholic's First Rosary Book: A Bead-by-Bead Picture Prayer Book
The Joyful Mysteries

Engage your child "bead-by-bead" through the family rosary:
The Mysteries come alive as every bead is a picture...and every picture is a prayer!

One mom told us:
"I've never seen anything like this, but it makes so much sense. A genius idea!"

Children will love having their very own prayer book!

Even before they can read words, they can read pictures--and that's the wonder of this picture prayer book:
  • Every prayer in the rosary has its own page, its own picture. Children recognize which prayer to say from the picture!
  • Each decade of rosary is a story that is brought to life by 10 colorful illustrations--one for each Hail, Mary!
  • It's an easy way to teach using rosary beads, too, because along the top of each page you can see what bead you're on.
  • Creates the foundation of contemplation in the heart and mind of a child for this wonderful devotion
A Little Catholic's First Rosary Book was developed through extensive research with hundreds of moms of children aged 6 & up.

Here's what moms said:

"A wonderful idea: making the rosary feel like a story!"
"Makes for endearing crawl-into-the-lap rosary meditation with my youngest ones."
"It's neat to see the action unfold visually for each part of the mystery."
"Reveals why we say the rosary--and opens up all kinds of teaching moments."
"Captivated the kids and allowed me to mediate on the mysteries, too!"

The kids love it, too:


"My son says this is HIS book for prayer time!"
"My girl loves how she can follow the beads, picture by picture."
"This visual rosary got my son excited to pray with me!"
"My boy was excited to have his own rosary book since he always used to take mine..."
"My youngest says each mystery is like a little story. She is always excited to see what is next."
"My daughter sat for an entire decade--and I have never been able to get her to do that in the past."

I always grab extra copies

I have given away a few of the Bead-by-Bead Rosary books to little children who are brought to weekday Mass by their devout parents or grandparents who stay after Mass to pray a Rosary, and I wanted to replenish my supply. I'm retired and on a fixed income, so the sale prices are very welcome! The kiddies--and their surprised parents/grandparents--are always thrilled when they are given the book out of the clear blue. Also, we have free Rosaries in our narthex, so if I see they don't have their own Rosary to use, I grab one and give it to them with the book.

I was really nervous about starting to pray the rosary as a family with our three year old, but this book honestly has made it a breeze. The pictures are engaging and she loves following along while we pray. I can’t recommend this little book highly enough!

Wonderfully written and illustrated.
Purchased several extra for gifting.

The books are sturdy, easy to follow along, and helpful to stay focused on the mystery of the rosary.

This book even helps me as an adult focus on the mysteries of the rosary. My young children will have them figured out in no time! I am also a teacher and will give them as first communion gifts and will read in the classroom sometime.

Excellent little book for my four year old granddaughter who loves to sit with me when I pray the Rosary.

This book is perfect for kids to follow along with the Rosary and to teach it. Each bead has a picture. I like that the pages are a little heavier than typical book pages so they will hold up.

This is a beautiful picture prayer book with a spiral binding. I am a bit worried paves could get torn if used too roughly. Perhaps reinforcement at the spiral or thicker pages would sort that out? Perfect for children (or anyone!) because of its step-by-step visual for the Joyful Mysteries!

I love this book. I love the page by page. My only regret is that the pages are not reinforced, so I forsee many repairs in the future. But I am happy to repair it, as it is such a treasure for my children (6, 4, 3, 1, and 1) while we pray the rosary. I bought 2 copies, which is hopefully enough. Thank you, what a clever idea to have a picture for each rosary bead.

This is the second time I have purchased this book for a grandchild's first communion. It is so easy for children to follow.

Befana brought this for Epiphany. I thought my 3-year-old would be the target audience, but my 9-year-old is the one who swiped it up. She crawled into bed and said a rosary that night, and has said a rosary every morning AND night, on her own, ever since! She loves how the story unfolds with each Hail Mary, and how the words to the prayers are printed in the back of the book in case she needs them. Her little sister even joined in the other day! The other mysteries will be arriving on Ash Wednesday, Easter and Pentecost. Thank you for such an excellent product!

I just love these books! We bought a set for our Godchildren, saw how wonderful they are and bought another set for our grandbabies! Can't wait to use these books to teach the Rosary to all the littles in our lives.

I purchased several of these books for Communion gifts because they are such a great tool for helping kiddos learn and understand the Rosary. Each page tells about the meditation to keep you and your child focused and walks them beautifully through the mysteries. I absolutely love them.

My 5 year old loves looking at the pictures and the description keeps us pondering while we're praying.

This is the rosary book I have been waiting for! The pictures and reflections are age appropriate for young children, and allow them to get a true grasp of how to pray the rosary!

Our 4 year old son loves to follow along with this book while we say the rosary. It helps him to keep track where we are at the top of the page.

These books are fantastic! Now my almost 4-year-old daughter is excited to say the rosary with me. Thank you for making a resource so that she can follow along and remain interested during our prayer time!

Beautiful way for children to pray the Rosary. The engaging pictures and short reflections are perfect for little hearts! Thank you for making available such a special blessing!

Beautiful illustrations and simple text.

I wish the complete prayer had been included on every page. New learners have to keep turning to the back of the book to read the prayer. It becomes tedius for them.

We have the joyful mysteries and are looking forward to the Sorrowful and Glorious. I do wish the paper was a little sturdier to hold up to frequent use. We have already taped a page back together and one has fallen out where it ripped away from the binding. Otherwise a wonderful little book that helps my children follow along with our nightly rosary. Thank you!
