Little Hearts, Big Truths: Aquinas for Babies with Adele Gulick

About this episode

Robyn Bruggeman interviews Adele Gulick about her book that introduces the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas to young readers.

On this episode of Living LIT , Robyn welcomes author and illustrator Adele Gulick to talk about her delightful new book Summa Theologiae for Babies: Prima Pars . Inspired by the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas , Doctor of the Church, this sweet and faithful little book gently introduces even the youngest readers to the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith. With charming illustrations and simple language, Adele has found a way to make the rich teachings of Aquinas approachable—not only for babies and children, but for parents who may be encountering them for the first time as well. Robyn and Adele also share a beautiful conversation about the lasting impact of being raised in a faithful Catholic home that intentionally lives the liturgical year as a family. Adele reflects on how growing up immersed in the rhythms of the Church shaped her faith, creativity, and love for the beauty of Catholic tradition. This episode is a joyful reminder that the truths of our faith can be shared at every age—and that the seeds planted in the Domestic Church can bear fruit for a lifetime.
