Our desire is that children will come to a deeper understanding and love for the Rosary at an early age!
There are Rosary prayer aids for adults that include a scripture verse or reference for each bead to keep the mind from wandering, and the prayer more meaningful. We wanted to create something similar for children. If it is difficult for adults to stay focused, how much more for kids?
This was the inspiration for the Bead by Bead Rosary Books, which we designed with a delightful illustration to accompany each bead of the Rosary. These images give children something to contemplate and keep them engaged in the same way that scripture verses can for adults.
Our series includes four print books, Joyful Mysteries, Luminous Mysteries, Sorrowful Mysteries and Glorious Mysteries. We have recently introduced an iPhone/iPad App which includes all four Mysteries and is now available for download in both English and Spanish.
The Bead by Bead Rosary Books were created by Sandy Rosetter with the help of her sister Stacey LeNeave who brought the Rosary to life through her beautiful illustrations.
Our deepest hope is that this book will become a meaningful instrument in the development of prayer life in children (and maybe some adults too)!

“Bead by Bead is an endearing crawl-into-the-lap Rosary meditation! The quality, visual impact is perfect for children learning this prayer. I will be using this book in my classroom! ”
“A must-have book for all Catholic children! Simply sweet and meaningful pictures, a wonderful bedside prayer book.
