New Interactive Children’s Book Brings the Rosary to Life for Little Catholics

[Exton, PA, July 9, 2025—]

Following in the footsteps of the best-selling My First Interactive Mass Book, My First Interactive Rosary Book helps little Catholics learn and love the Rosary.

Adding another title to their beloved interactive children’s line, Ascension has released My First Interactive Rosary Book, an engaging, hands-on book that invites children into the beauty of the Rosary.

Written by Candace Camling—Catholic author, and illustrator of the award-winning and best-selling My First Interactive Mass BookMy First Interactive Rosary Book immerses young Catholics in the Rosary one prayer at a time.

Chock-full of interactive elements, this new book invites children to focus on the prayers of the Rosary with lift the flaps, spin the wheels, space for prayer intentions, and all of the prayers of the Rosary. This wonderful resource is also part of a Rosary book line that helps children learn on prayer, then one decade, and finally the whole Rosary.

Author Candace Camling comments on her hopes for children as they read this book, “I was inspired to write and illustrate this book to help introduce children to the Rosary in an accessible way. I wanted to create something that would create curiosity around the mysteries, and guide young Catholics toward learning to pray them step by step.”

My First Interactive Rosary Book is the perfect companion for Learn to Pray My First Hail Mary, and The Rosary in a Year Prayer Guide


My First Interactive Rosary Book is available at www.AscensionPress.com/InteractiveRosary.
