Bob: The Boy Who Became Pope

A true story full of tenderness and inspiration.
Bob is a curious little boy who plays at saying Mass using his mother's ironing board.
As he grows up, he becomes a missionary in Peru, where he fixes roofs, teaches children, and helps those in need.
Until one day, against all odds... he becomes Pope!

A bright and moving story, based on real events, told with simplicity for children aged 6 to 12-yet touching enough to move adults as well.

With full-color illustrations inspired by authentic photographs, this book invites readers to discover that the purest dreams-sometimes-really do come true. Perfect for reading at home or in the classroom, it is part of the Figures of Our Time series, dedicated to real lives that inspire.

The print edition includes fun activity pages: find hidden words, crack an acrostic, unscramble syllables, and put your memory to the test!
