Joella Peterson - Children's Literature
With engaging photographs, a picture book size, and attractive graphic design, readers won't be able to resist looking at this volume in the "Genius" series. The life story of Mother Teresa, from her childhood to her work with the Missionary Sisters of Charity, is portrayed through this beautifully-crafted book. Each page has a striking picture of either Mother Teresa or the issues that she fought—poverty, sickness, and war. In fact, a majority of these pictures are displayed to fill a whole page so readers can see, as in the large pictures in a newspaper or magazine cover, the detail and importance of each photograph. All of this helps to emphasize the global significance of the life of Mother Teresa. With the last section comprised completely of quotations from Mother Teresa readers can not only learn about her life, but they can also come to know the passion she had for her work. With an index and end notes to help those who are doing research, this book will be sure to capture the heart of all who loved Mother Teresa and all who want to learn more about her. 2006, Creative Education, Ages 14 to 18.
