The Little Chapel That Stood is a 2003 children's picture book containing poetry by A. B. Curtiss and artwork by Mirto Golino. It tells the story of the September 11 attacks through the perspective of St. Paul's Chapel, a historic structure situated less than from the demolished Twin Towers. Notably, the chapel remained undamaged and became a sanctuary for rescue personnel following the tragedy.<ref> The book’s cover features Golino’s watercolor depiction of the chapel set against Manhattan’s skyline, including the Twin Towers as they appeared in 2001. Its title is a nod to the well-known children's classic The Little Engine that Could by Watty Piper.<ref>
Frequently utilized in educational contexts, this book provides a thoughtful way to present the events of 9/11 to young readers.<ref> Additionally, it has helped to popularize the moniker "Little Chapel that Stood" for St. Paul's Chapel.<ref>
