(3) K-3 Illustrated by Oliver Dominguez. This affectionate picture-book biography of Pope Francis, born Jorge Bergoglio in Buenos Aires in 1936, briefly covers his childhood and early years as a Jesuit priest dedicated to helping others before describing his papal achievements thus far. Dominguez's warm acrylic, gouache, watercolor, and ink art highlights the hopeful enthusiasm that permeates the text. Otheguy's appended note discusses her Latinx family's connection to Catholicism. Timeline. Bib., glos.
Reviewer: Kristy Pasquariello
