The Story of St. Joseph for Children by Sister M. Eleanore
This is a very short book, without real chapters - hence it wouldn't work for a group project.
It is full view/public domain on Hathi Trust: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=bc.ark:/13960/t9t21f658&view=2up&seq=1
Edit: It is also on Archive - Hathi Trust is what we need to ascertain it is PD.
