For Children

Some children are ready to learn traditional Catholic prayers; others may need a little help finding their own words. The right prayer book leaves room for both. It can introduce the prayers shared by generations of Catholics while also encouraging children to pause, listen, wonder and respond from the heart.

Helping Children Make Prayer Their Own

Prayer books for children can be used in all kinds of settings. They may become part of a family’s bedtime routine, a quiet classroom moment, a school liturgy or preparation for the sacraments. They can also offer comfort when a child is anxious, grieving or trying to understand something difficult.

For parents and grandparents, these books provide a simple way to nurture faith at home, even when they’re unsure where to begin. Teachers, catechists and pastoral leaders can draw on them for classroom prayer, reflection and group discussion. Children can return to them independently, choosing a prayer that speaks to what they’re experiencing that day.

Among the collection, you’ll find books created especially for Australian children, as well as thoughtful resources from respected Catholic and Christian publishers around the world. Each one offers a different doorway into prayer, from lively Bible-based activities to quieter books of blessings, reflection and devotion.

Garratt Publishing has long worked alongside Australian schools, parishes and families, providing trusted resources that make faith accessible without losing its depth. For those looking to buy youth prayer books, our range provides options for younger children, older primary students and young people beginning to explore faith with greater independence.
