To take a vow of poverty, to abandon family and home, to follow the Lord filled Brother Francis with undeniable joy and reverence. These traits marked the life of Francis of Assisi and those who took up the cross of Christ to follow in this reverent way. Tomie dePaola presents a well-researched and wonderfully illustrated portrayal of Francis di Bernardone’s life and ministry. Each page spread is a story vignette with charming artwork that brings the story to life. The song lyrics that Brother Francis wrote, The Song to the Sun, are included at the back of the book, along with a reflection from T. de P. and a timeline of Saint Francis’ life. 48 pgs, hc. ~Rebecca
