The Little Chapel That Stood is a 2003 children's novel by A. B. Curtiss.[1] It tells the story of the September 11 attacks by focusing on St. Paul's Chapel, a historic chapel which is located less than 100 yards (91 m) from the destroyed Twin Towers; the chapel survived intact and became a haven for rescue workers in the days after the attacks.[2][3][4] The book's cover features a watercolor painting by Mirto Golino that depicts the chapel surrounded by high rises in Manhattan in 2001. The title is a nod to the children's classic The Little Engine that Could.[5]

The book has been used in schools[6] and is recommended as a way to introduce a difficult topic to children for discussion.[7][8] The nickname "Little Chapel that Stood" has become a general way to refer to the building.[9][3][10]
