Carlo Acutis for Kids: The Inspiring Life of a Modern Saint Told for Children

What if holiness didn't mean living far away from the world—but right in the middle of it? Imagine a regular teenager who loved video games, sneakers, and coding, yet somehow turned all of it into a path toward heaven. When a 15-year-old from Milan is on his way to becoming a saint, it reminds us that you don't need a halo to live with purpose—just a heart that says yes. In an age where children are surrounded by screens and fast-changing trends, their sense of direction often depends on the stories they grow up with. A 2021 study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that kids exposed to stories of moral heroism—especially those highlighting courage, empathy, and perseverance—show measurable growth in compassion and ethical reasoning. Carlo Acutis for Kids brings one of the most relatable modern heroes to life: a boy who used his everyday gifts—coding, curiosity, and kindness—to draw people closer to God. This beautifully written and illustrated biography transforms faith formation into something engaging and deeply human.
