Fedoragirl's thread reminded me that I've meant to ask this for a while: dh and I are looking for some children's books with truly lovely art, on religious themes.
Sprog is accustomed to checking out stained glass and icons when she gets bored during mass. I'm not necessarily looking for books with that exact kind of art, but that would be lovely. She's pretty into mass and picking out the symbolic things around the building. I can tell she's cuing into the fact that certain pictures and symbols show up in consistent contexts, if that makes sense?
Bible stories, liturgy-related, saints, whatever. They certainly don't have to be from our particular Christian sub-culture! (Our immediate family is quite diverse on that front, so she already sees a nice variety.)
Not cartoons. :)
I said "religious" instead of "Christian" because I'd love to see similar books in other faith traditions, too. It would be great to have them around the house and in Sprog's little mental view of the world!
