What is Brother sun, sister moon : the life and stories of St. Francis about?

Saint Francis of Assisi has always held a fascination for members of all faiths, and his story continues to inspire and motivate us more than seven hundred years after his death. Born into a wealthy family, he led a dissolute life as a young man. Then one day he had a conversion experience while passing a poor leper's hut. From that day on, Francis dedicated his life to helping the poor and outcasts of society and to teaching respect for all living things. He was joined by a noblewoman, Clare, who was soon know as Sister Moon to Francis's Brother Sun. This appealing book includes many of the tales that were told about him, including his taming of the fierce wolf of Gubbio and the famous prayer that begins, "Lord, make me an instrument of they peace." With its charming text and glowing illustrations this is a book to give, to keep, to cherish. <p>The story of St. Francis of Assisi, who rejected his wealthy background to lead a life of poverty, good works, and kindness to animals. </p>
