Description

This delightfully illustrated biography leads young readers ages 7-10 to identify with the adventures and challenges that molded Pope Francis--the first pope to be a member of the Jesuit religious order, to come from Latin America, and to take the papal name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi--into a missionary of God's unconditional love. Known for his humility, simplicity, concern for the poor, respect for the environment, and commitment to interfaith dialogue, Pope Francis is a positive role model and contemporary hero for all children.

Author Biography:

Sister Marlyn Evangelina Monge has been a Daughter of Saint Paul since 2005 and currently serves as an editor for books for children and teens at Pauline Books and Media. She has a master's degree in education and is pursuing a master's degree in Hispanic pastoral ministry. Before entering the convent she taught bilingual kindergarten for six years, taught in her parish's religious education program, and volunteered with the youth ministry program. She is the author of Jorge from Argentina (available in both English and Spanish), Growing in Love, and co-author of Las Posadas (all with Pauline Books and Media). Sister Marlyn is a proud tía to her six nieces and nephews. A wife and mother of eight, Jaymie Stuart Wolfe is an editor of children's and teen books at Pauline Books & Media. Jaymie's biweekly column has appeared in Boston's archdiocesan newspaper, The Pilot, since 1995. Since her conversion to the Catholic faith in 1983, Jaymie has directed parish adult faith formation, children's sacramental preparation, and liturgical music ministry. Jaymie combines teaching with original inspirational music under Loaves and Fishes Ministry. She frequently speaks to groups on living and sharing the faith, family life, and answering God's call to holiness and mercy. Devoted to the spirituality of Saint Francis de Sales, Jaymie is a graduate of Harvard University and holds a Master of Arts in Ministry degree from St. John's Seminary, Boston.
