| Publisher Description: This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of Mother Teresa in an engaging narrative for children ages 8 to 10. Starting with her early life in Albania, the book follows her journey through religious life, founding the Missionaries of Charity, and her dedication to the poor. The story of the saint of Calcutta is more than a biography of Mother Teresa; it stirs a sense of social justice and encourages children to live a life of humble sanctity. |
