    As a young man Francis of Assisi renounced his wealthy background, dressed in coarse robes and lived in poverty. He believed every living creature and thing on earth was sacred and deserved respect. In this spirit, he founded the Franciscan Order, which endures today. Géraldine Elschner narrates in her poetic text the life and work of Francis of Assisi, one of the most famous saints of Christianity. Glowing reproductions of Italian frescoes and quotes by Pope Francis portray his life and works.
    Originally from France, Géraldine Elschner studied Germanic and Romance languages.
    She has since translated scores of books from German to French and French to German, as well as writing some of her own stories. She draws inspiration from her three children as well as the beautiful town of Heidelberg where she lives. She is the author of many picture books including The Cat and the Bird, Funny Machines for George the Sheep, and Where is the Frog? Originally from France, she studied Germanic and Romance languages, and has translated scores of books, including The Nativity, published by minedition. View titles by Géraldine Elschner
