The Little Friar Who Flew

by Patricia Lee Gauch

Book Overview

Joseph called himself Little Donkey--such a clumsy, foolish fellow, or so everyone thought. That is perhaps why people of Cupertino did not notice what happened whenever Joseph was overjoyed. He did not merely smile or squeeze his sides or rub his hands together. Joseph flew.

The legends of the soaring experiences of St. Joseph of Cupertino

The Little Friar Who Flew is a book about the legends of St. Joseph of Cupertino. While it is a fun book to read, it is based on the legends and not the facts of his simply levitating about 70 times in his life during prayer. The simple earth tone water color illustrations of this book cover most of every page. There are from 3 to 8 lines of large letter typing on each page above the pictures. I believe that children as young as 3 will enjoy this book, with second or second graders being able to read it for themselves.
