Bringing the Catechism to Life Through Story – Katie Warner – 07/30/2026

Katie Warner has written and edited nearly twenty Catholic children's books, and her newest, Illustrated Catechism Stories, Volume One: Faith and the Creed, arrives October 27, 2026 from TAN Books. Warner and her family scoured the works of Reverend D. Chisholm — whose 1919 classic The Catechism in Examples has formed generations of Catholic readers — for their favorite, most impactful stories, then paired them with new illustrations by Leah Ballard and reflections connecting each tale back to the Creed. Highlights from the conversation: Why story is one of the most memorable, relatable ways to pass on the faith, including the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola Warner's favorite story in the collection, "The Monk and the Bird," and what it reveals about eternity and heaven Why the book's full text of the Creed helps readers connect each tale to specific doctrines Who the book is for: families, parishes, faith formation programs, and classrooms, with strong appeal for independent readers ages 7–12 and younger children as a read-aloud Find this title and Katie Warner's full collection of Catholic children's books: firstfaithtreasury.com tanbooks.com Listen to The Catholic Morning Show weekdays at 7 a.m. Central on the Catholic Radio Network — IowaCatholicRadio.com or the Iowa Catholic Radio app. #CatholicPodcast #CatholicMorningShow #CatholicKidsBooks #CatechismForKids #TanBooks #CatholicParenting #CatholicHomeschool   Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm. ENJOYING THE SHOW?
