Mother Cabrini: A Heart for the World

A richly illustrated picture book introducing children to St Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first American citizen to be canonised. Though frail in health and afraid of water, she crossed the ocean many times to serve the poor, rescuing neglected children from the streets of New York and giving them a home, care and schooling.

Told partly through the eyes of children who helped her, the story follows Mother Cabrini as she founds orphanages, hospitals and schools across several continents, a wonderful example of courage and compassion for young readers.
