Miss Griffin's Pick: Padre Pio

Miss Griffin's Lenten Pick:  Padre Pio by Fabio Fenzo

This graphic novel is an inspiring, moving account of Padre Pio's remarkable life and the miracles that occured after his death.  It recounts his visions as a young child, miracles he witnessed, and his generous spirit.  The pictures in the graphic novel are realistic so students can have a better idea of what he looked like as a young man.  For any nonfiction lovers (or adults--I learned so much reading this book!). 

Look for these other fascinating Saints biographies in the graphic novels section:  Saint Bernadette (741.5 Ber), Saint Joan of Arc (741.5 Joa), Pope John Paul II (J92 Joh)
