Publisher's Synopsis
The lives of the saints are either too grisly for little kids or too saccharine for older ones. But this collection appeals to both groups with a combination of gentle humor and frankness - battle-tested at the author's weekly chapel services at the school where she teaches.
It's organized into two full school years, with each saint's story falling on or near his or her special day so that each story can be a springboard to a creative seasonal teaching unit or small festival. Saints represent a wide variety of ethnic and geographic backgrounds.
