Part of the multi-award-winning series Little People, BIG DREAMS, discover the unique life of Saint Teresa, along with her message of love and charity. Agi (who later became Saint Teresa) was born in Skopje, North Macedonia. She was taught to love God and others, and from a young age, she knew she wanted to dedicate herself to religion, so she became a nun. She was inspired by stories of missionaries helping people and wanted to do the same. She traveled to Ireland and then to India, where she worked hard to help those around her. She taught at a school but realized she could do more, so she founded a hospital in an old temple, where she cared for and fed the poor and sick. She spent the rest of her life caring for those in need around the world, and now we remember Saint Teresa of Calcutta. This moving book includes stylish and quirky illustrations as well as extra content at the end, such as a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the amazing life of Saint Teresa.
