"This picture book biography of Saint Francis of Assisi is like none I've seen (and he's a pretty popular saint). The narration pulls the reader in, regardless of age, and tells the compelling story of Francis's life - his renunciation of wealth, his effort to follow Christ's teachings, and his kindness to animals. But it is the Renaissance art and the quotations from current Pope Francis on every page that really set it apart. Stunning beauty accompanies the captivating story. Elschner has created a treasure that asks to be read and paged through again and again." --Victoria DiMassa, Glass of Wine, Glass of Milk.
