Actually, it wasn’t the grown-up Living Faith, but rather the equally excellent Living Faith for Kids. The writing is a bit simpler, I suppose because I can very easily slip into "think like a child" mode. It’s a daily devotional, and writers are encouraged to think in terms of childrens’ lives, nourishing them in their faith in light of the real problems, worries and joys that they have.

Magnfikids has a slightly different focus, and is very useful for Sunday Mass and for linking children’s prayers into the prayer of the Church in other ways.

Both would be great Christmas gifts for the grandchildren, nieces and nephews!
