OSV Kids Discover: Mary | Catholic Children's Book | Our Sunday Visitor

Introducing Children to Mary, the Mother of God and Heart of the Faith

OSV Kids Discover: Mary by Colleen Pressprich is a richly illustrated Catholic children's book from Our Sunday Visitor that invites young readers to truly meet the Blessed Virgin Mary. Going far beyond the familiar image of the Mother of Jesus, this book takes children deep into Mary's life, her role in salvation history, and the vibrant Marian tradition the Church has celebrated for centuries.

Packed with maps, timelines, beautiful images, and fun facts, OSV Kids Discover: Mary is designed to answer the big questions children have about Mary in a way that is accessible, engaging, and thoroughly Catholic. It explores Marian apparitions, dogmas, feast days, prayers, symbols, and titles in language children can understand and families can explore together. It is both a learning resource and an invitation to grow in love for Our Lady.
