About this book
This little book offers episodes from the life of St. Francis, based on the words of Thomas of Celano and St. Bonaventure, that help us understand what the harmony regenerated by love will be like.
Whether or not every episode took place is not what matters: the important thing is to learn how Francis experienced his relationship with Creation, and to see that the Poor One lived by seeing God behind all things.
Here are all the great stories: Francis preaching to the birds, Sister Cricket’s song, the wolf of Gubbio, the larks at his death and more, in a full-color hardcover illustrated by Alessandra Annibali.
