Introducing a new and collectable series of beautifully illustrated board books, each dedicated to the miraculous stories of beloved Saints
A new classic series that goes beyond simple storytelling. Stories of the Saints keeps the profound lessons of courage and compassion taught by holy figures alive, in an engaging and accessible format.

This book is all about Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of Italy, the patron saint of animals, and the patron saint of poor people. Born into a rich family in the 12th century, Francis felt an innate need to help people. This eventually led him to reject his affluence and live a life of poverty and service to God. Saint Francis is also known and beloved for his spiritual connection to animals. And, did you know that Saint Francis made the first ever nativity scene?

By retelling the classic life stories of the saints and sharing their miraculous deeds in an engaging and accessible way, we keep their stories alive, inspire others on their faith journeys, and connect with a spiritual tradition that has guided believers for centuries. The stunning illustrations will capture and enthral young minds whilst teaching important values and virtues. To mark the importance of each title and the lessons learnt, there is a prayer at the end of the book.
