Anthony of Padua: Wonder Worker (Saints & Me Series)

Saints are real-life heroes and heroines of faith who inspire us by their virtues to become more like Christ. In this series of beautifully illustrated early-reader books, these real stories come to life and connect with today's children ages 4 to 9.

Anthony of Padua was a Franciscan friar and a friend of Saint Francis of Assisi. He was such a powerful preacher that he changed the hearts of sinners and heretics. Known for his miracles, he was given the nickname The Wonder Worker. His feast day is June 13th, and he is the patron saint of the poor and searchers of lost items.
