Anyone know of any?
We are heading up to Canada in a few weeks to go to the St. Joseph Oratory in Montreal and the St. Anne de Beaupre Shrine near Quebec City. I'd love to find a book about St. Anne to share with my oldest before we go. We've read the Fr. Lovasik book on St. Joseph. I am assuming there isn't a kids book about Br. Andre yet. Although, maybe there is? Anyone know?

Have you been reading along Aussie Anne's series on St. Anne?
I can't think of a book dedicated to St. Ann's life for children. Most of her life is legend, so the stories will vary.
Young Mary of Nazareth by Marianna Mayer does begin with the betrothal of Joachim and Anne, and that is a lovely picture book.
Some collected lives that I can recommend that include St. Anne:
Daughters of St. Paul Fifty Seven Saints for Boys and Girls
Pochocki, Ethel Marbach, Once Upon A Time Saints, Bethlehem Books, 1996, Illustrated by Tom Matt.
Quadflieg, Joseph.
The Saints and Your Name, Pantheon Press, 1957, Illustrated by Johannes
Grueger (color and b/w), Translated from the German by Margaret Goldsmith. OOP.
Twomey, Mark J.
A Parade of Saints, Liturgical Press, 1982, Illustrated by Placid Stuckenschneider, O.S.B. OOP.
Joan Windham
Found in either Story Library of the Saints, Vol 1, Sixty Stories of Saints for Girls or Six O'Clock Saints, OOP.
O'Neill, Mary.
Saints: Adventures in Courage, Doubleday, 1963, Illustrated by Alex Ross.
Web Gallery of Art has 6 Scenes from the Life of Joachim, frescoes by Giotto which depict those key life legends that are found in the lives of St. Joachim and Anne.
Brother Andre
For Brother Andre, I can only come up with OOP books. I'm listing them in case you can track one down.
Brother C.S.C. Ernest
Saint Joseph's Little Brother a Story of Brother Andre, C.S.C. Dujarie Press
Ian Bond
Mountain for St. Joseph: The Life of Brother Andre, Miracle Man of Montreal, Holy Cross Press
Ann Nolan Clark
Brother Andre of Montreal], Vision Books
Alden Hatch
The Miracle of the Mountain: The Story of Brother Andre and The Shrine on Mount Royal, Hawthorne Books
Henri-Paul Bergeron
Brother Andre, C.S.C. , first printed by Benziger, then Fides.
Not children's, but worth mentioning:
Katherine Burton
Brother Andre of Mount Royal
It would be wonderful if some of these were reprinted on Brother Andre, since he is scheduled for canonization on Sunday, October 17, 2010.

I forgot to mention that except for "Young Mary of Nazareth" all the single biography books are non-picture books. They are different levels of reading, but I don't own them all so I can't give a judgment on the level.
