Saint Francis by Mary Joslin
Long ago in the busy little town of Assisi, a wealthy merchant and his wife had a baby boy: Francis. They gave their son all the good things that money could buy. But when Francis was a young man, he had a dream telling him to work for God - to follow the example of Jesus in loving those who were unloved and giving everything he had to serve others. Francis' life touched the hearts of many in his own lifetime. Even the wild birds and animals seemed to listen to what he had to say about God their Maker. For hundreds of years, the story of this good man of Assisi has brought hope and encouragement to all those who long to know gentleness and love in the world.
Mary Joslin is married and has 3 grown up children. She began writing when her own children were still young and has since written books that have been published throughout the world. For Lion, these include: Our Father, The Tale of the Heaven Tree, Do the Angels Watch Close By?, The Merchant Enticed by the Pearl of Great Price and The Story of the Cross. ALISON WISENFELD's stylish illustrations have won widespread acclaim, from the prizewining The Tree through Spider Watching, Best Loved Prayers, The Good Man of Assisi and Mary Mother of Jesus. Now, as author and illustrator in her own right, she brings together her experience of mothering two young children with her talent as an illustrator to create a memorable book in a simple and timeless style.
