关于此电子书

Pope Francis's life and ground-breaking leadership are brought to life for young readers in this lyrical and inspirational picture book biography.

Jorge Bergoglio was a typical boy growing up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, jumping into pick-up soccer games and listening to lively music on the city streets. His grandma Rosa taught him the importance of doing good and inspired his passion to help others. This passion and years of hard work led him to become a Jesuit priest, a bishop, and then a cardinal.

And now the world knows Jorge by a different name--Pope Francis.

As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis has focused on another word for pope: "pontiff," a person who builds bridges to reach everyone, no matter who they are. Speaking out on the most important issues of our time, he has become an influential voice in our world--a true pontiff, a builder of bridges.

This story of how an ordinary boy became a beloved world leader will inspire and inform readers of all ages.

Oliver Dominguez was born and raised in the South side of Miami, where he spent his time reading comics, watching cartoons and playing with action figures. In school, he was called "the artist boy" because he always carried a huge portfolio. He studied Illustration at Ringling College of Art + Design and spent two summers attending in The Illustration Academy. Now his weeks are spent working as a freelance artist, a children's book artist, and illustrating his own stories. His love of historical figures has lead him to illustrate two children's books called Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit the World and Miracle Mud: Lena Blackburne and The Secret Mud that Changed Baseball. He currently lives in Fort Myers with his lovely wife Melissa, his adorable two children Aubrey and Gage, and also his two dogs, Hazel and Houston. When he is not illustrating, he indulges in books, movies, and an appetite for unique hats.
