Mother Teresa: The Story of the Saint of Calcutta

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.

The "Encounter the Saints" series offers readers ages 9-12 down-to-earth portrayals of the saints who faced many of the same challenges we do. Each story vividly recreates the saint's life, including the place of origin, family life, and corresponding historical events. The engaging dialogue and illustrations make it easy to relate to the saints and provide excellent role models for boys and girls.
