Favorite Kids' Books About Jesus in the Eucharist

What a gift we have in the Eucharist. That Jesus is Truly Present- Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity- is a mind blowing, miraculous mystery! Helping kids understand the importance of the Mass and the significance of the Eucharist is no easy challenge, but fortunately we have some great tools to help! Here are some of my favorite books about the Eucharist and the Mass to share with kids.

I've divided them up in a set of categories, but didn't label them by age- I really think that most can stretch from young to old! The picture books can still be read by older kids by using them to dive deep into symbols and meaning. The more complex graphic novels and stories also have awesome pictures that can also be used with the younger kids to talk about the parts of the Mass. The guides are great for all to use while participating in the Mass. Lots of options to add to your kiddo's collection!
