Poor Pio
A biography about Padre Pio for preschoolers and early-elementary children.
Poor Pio, a 3,000-word illustrated biography for preschoolers and early-elementary readers, leads the reader along the hard-yet-joyful path Padre Pio, the famous priest, prophet, healer, and stigmatist, trod.
Some of Poor Pio's content:
Sometimes Pio’s papa and mama did not have enough money to buy him shoes. That did not bother Pio, but he did wish he could grow big and strong like other boys his age. His frail health made him wonder if he would live to see his next birthday. Though Pio’s heart ached for his family and the other poor people in Italy, his own sickness and poverty did not make him sad. But, when he turned fifteen, something else did.
Pio wanted to help people as a priest. To learn to do this, he would have to leave home and live in a monastery. It made him sad to leave his family.
