New Children’s Catholic Book Teaches Young Readers about the Lenten Season
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, February 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — A new children’s book titled The Lenten Adventures with Father Nate has been released right before the Lenten season begins this week on February 18. The book encourages young readers, their parents, and teachers to learn more about lent and showcases Jesus acts of love. The book is one of a five book series that follows Father Nate as he explains the Catholic faith.
Authors Madalyn Allender and Mia Toschi explain that the books also encourage young readers to become disciples by doing kind acts.
“There are three prayers in each book so that parents and grandparents can pray together with the children in their family,” says Toschi. Allender, who is a current religious director, adds that it is an excellent resource for teachers in the classroom as well.
“Lent is a time to pray, reflect, and grow closer to Jesus, but it is more difficult subject to explain to young readers. The beautiful illustrations and Father Nate make it easier for children to understand,” says Allender.
A portion of The Lenten Adventures of Father Nate is donated to Catholic Education. There are free educational resources available for teachers at www.thecatholicadventures.org.
The Lenten Adventures with Father Nate is the first book in a new series, The Catholic Adventures with Father Nate, where primary aged children learn about their Catholic faith. The next book in the series, The Advent Adventures With Father Nate, will be available later in 2026.
