About this Book:

Here is the very special story of the very special little boy who grew up to become Pope John Paul II. Karol from Poland leads young readers to identify with the adventures and challenges that molded Pope John Paul into a missionary of God's unconditional love.

This endearing book is both informative and inspirational. Children will be captivated by this beloved Pope's life—from his early childhood years where we learn about his family and the first time Karol's mother took him to his parish church to see "Jesus' house," to his love for skiing, from the sad day his mother died to the dangerous trip he took to enter the seminary, from his election as Pope to his great missionary trips. Beautifully illustrated.

Ages 6-8
