My kids go to public school and I am interested in teaching them about faith at home. I would say that this book would be appropriate for ages 8-young teen. It focuses on having a relationship with Jesus and the idea of how loved we are and special! There are questions at the end of each section that are well presented and help the reader understand what they just read. They present real life worries that kids may have and then give ideas on how to tackle these issues. There are no pictures or at least not in the copy that I received. SO it really is for older kids but I think that's a good thing. There are so many books for young children that are catholic faith based. I really think it's a great book for homeschoolers or any parent wanting to teach their children that faith is about a relationship with the Lord rather than just rules.
