For example, the story about St. Francis of Assisi tells of his love for all creatures great and small, including birds, wolves, and even a wild rabbit who would sit in his lap during prayer. The story about Abraham Lincoln tells of his love for his horse, Old Bob, who he would ride to the battlefield during the Civil War.The book is written in a style that is accessible to both children and adults.
