My Brother Is a saint is a tender, beautifully illustrated Catholic children’s book that helps young siblings understand the loss of a brother through the lens of faith, love, and the promise of Heaven. Created for children ages 2–10, it offers families a gentle way to talk about grief while grounding them in the hope that death is not the end of the story— Heaven is eternal.
Note: We know this topic is very sensitive. At Red Bird, we hope to remain authentically Catholic while also being intentionally tender with our message for grieving hearts. Final review is underway, and once complete, we will seek our imprimatur, as with all of our resources. Our diocese's turnaround time for imprimatur applications is approximately 9-12 months. If you are clergy and wish to read our script before ordering, please reach out to us at hello@redbird.love.
