Brother Wolf, Sister Sparrow
Twelve holy men and women who cared for beasts and birds. Annotation. From Saint Francis to Saint Brigid, this book highlights the relationships between "the beasts of the field" and the birds of the sky and twelve holy men and women who cared for them. Through simple faith and compassion, these remarkable people tamed ravenous wolves, rescued deer, and rode whales. Eric A. Kimmel's warmhearted tales and John Winch's splendid illustrations will encourage peace and understanding among all creatures.
