In this gentle retelling of the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, Dr. MaryJo Burchard exposes the power every person possesses to bring hope and healing. Follow along with Leanna Zeibak's thoughtful illustrations, as a young boy confronts devastation by quietly setting out to mend one broken thing at a time. The reader is immersed in stark contrasts between light and dark, as the boy encounters fear and courage, love and hate, watching as the tiniest light gradually transforms the deepest darkness. Inspiring for all ages, this book will help you hear the words of Saint Francis of Assisi again for the first time, and see your own life as a prayer for peace.
