Francis of Assisi: He Who Spoke with Animals

(3) K-3 This elegant book succinctly relates Assisi's choice to leave his wealthy family to found a monastic order that preached respect for all creation; the text also describes his canonical miracles and his lasting impact on Christianity. The main narrative is accompanied on each spread by a quotation from his namesake Pope Francis and a well-reproduced period painting (source information provided).
