The flying friar : patron saints and their amazing lives /

Landy, Joseph V.

The flying friar : patron saints and their amazing lives / by Joseph V. Landy ; illustrated by Frances C. Alcaraz. - 118 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.

Flying Friar is an interesting anthology of the live of patron saints. It begins with a foreword about who saints are and how they get dubbed as patron saints. The foreword is a nice reference for us parents for when our kids start asking these questions. It also invites the children to be just like these ordinary people who did extraordinary things for God. Grade schoolers will enjoy reading these amazing life stories. The 2-3 page biography for each saint can also be good as read-aloads to young children. (Source: http://www.thelearningbasket.com/2014/10/our-favorite-childrens-books-about-saints.html)
