"What do I want to be when I grow up?"
It's the question children love to ponder (and act out) at an early age.
Here's a question we parents might want to ask ourselves
"How can I gently and lovingly help my children discern what God is calling them to be?"
And here's a beautiful answer
Read So Many Ways to Be Holy A Child's Book about Vocations with your child.
Charming pictures of children playing dress-up capture the joy that is to be found in all kinds of lives of service -- from being an artist, a doctor, or an astronaut to becoming a priest, a brother, or a nun, and more!
For each occupation, your child will learn
the patron saint who would protect and guide them
to use their talents for the glory of God!
Did you know that the patron saint of scientists is St. Albert the Great?
And what about the patron saint of ...
farmers?
dancers?
cooks?
or fire fighters or truck drivers or ...?
After sparking childish imaginations, the book closes with this sweet prayer.

"This book was a gem!
The author presents the idea that we are all called to holiness, and "vocation" can mean not just becoming a priest or a nun, but ANY "job" that you do is your calling from God. From a young age, children can begin to ask God what HE would like them to do in their life, because listening to His call will lead them down the path of holiness and bring them the greatest happiness.
I was delighted to find this book, as I have yet to see another children's book that encourages vocations, instead of simply, "What job do I want to do when I grow up?"
The format of the book is very appealing, as the real pictures of the sweet, happy children are very bright and colorful and well-formatted.
Each job, or "vocation," is presented with a child performing a duty or task associated with that particular vocational choice, and a patron saint associated with that vocation is called upon for intercession.
Finally, the book ends with a short prayer, asking God's help to discover the calling that He has for the reader.
This book makes a great gift, not just for your own children, but grandchildren, godchildren, nieces and nephews, children's friends' birthdays--you name it!"

This book makes a great gift, not just for your own children, but grandchildren, godchildren, nieces and nephews, children's friends' birthdays--you name it! - My children love this! This is the only book of this kind that I know of. It’s so important to imbue openness to God’s call (vocation) whatever it might be, starting from youth. The book is a great read-aloud picture book and the images are stunning.
- We love reading this book as a family. God has a purpose for each of us and always asking and discerning His will for us. This book is a great way to discern and ask God what He is calling each of us to. Very simple quick bed time story book. Also, we have a copy in our church kids busy bag for the little ones. We are called to raise/become saints and All that God is calling us to, especially in our vocations.
