The Saint Who Loved Animals Synopsis

A beautifully illustrated board book that explores the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals, poor people and Italy.

Discover the inspiring story of Saint Francis of Assisi, who, while born into a rich family in the 12th century, felt an innate need to help people and rejected his affluence to 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 also made the first-ever nativity scene?

Each book in the Stories of Saints series brings a saint's story to life with joyful illustrations, simple text, and a closing prayer. Kids ages 3-5 will learn how faith can shape lives and inspire acts of compassion and bravery through the life stories of these extraordinary holy figures.

  • Easy-to-read text to engage little ones with faith at an early age.
  • A closing prayer to highlight the importance of the lessons learnt.
