St. Kateri Tekakwitha: The Lily of the Mohawks (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This short chapter book for children relates the life of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, North America's first Native American saint. It is suitable for ages 7 to 9, but is also appropriate for a young Catholic family to read together. In just six chapters, the story takes children from Kateri's birth in what is now Central New York State through the major events of her short, gentle life. It also relates, in simple terms, the history of her slow but steady journey through the traditional channels of the Catholic Church to her canonization in October, 2012. Included at the end is an original prayer to St. Kateri which encourages children to practice her virtues of love, patience, and joy in difficult times

Autorenporträt

Catherine grew up with a fondness for fun and adventure, but reading has always been a major favorite, too. As a little girl, she enjoyed crawling under her father's Lionel train table to explore a big box of her sisters' old school readers, so Dick and Jane were already her friends when she started school. Born in Dayton, Ohio, Catherine loved stories about inventors, adventurous people, and faraway places. Inspired by her father's fascination for airplanes, she earned a private pilot's license as an adult. Catherine has always been intrigued by the ways that children grow and develop the character traits which they display as adults, and how they confront and learn from problems they encounter along the way. She has taught children from preschool through high school in her long professional career in education, and she enjoys writing for both children and adults.
