Saint Patrick

$9.00 Sale Save

From the author of Strega Nona and Quiet comes an illustrated tribute to the Irish patron saint--now in a special format just right for the youngest readers. Beloved children's book author-illustrator Tomie dePaola recounts the life of Saint Patrick--from his noble birth in Britain, to his captivity in Ireland, to the visions which led him to return and found the first Christian church in Ireland. With his signature bold illustrations and engaging prose, Tomie dePaola recounts a number of legends about the Saint--including the well-known story of how he drove the snakes from Ireland, and his association with the shamrock, as well as less familiar details of his journeys. This timeless story, now available in a sturdy, colourful board book format, is a perfect introduction to these Irish legends, and an ideal St. Patrick's Day gift-- perfect for sharing with your family.

Tomie dePaola (1954 - 2020) was the beloved Caldecott Honor- and Newbery Honor-winning author and/or illustrator of over two hundred books, including Strega Nona, Quiet, and The Coud Book. Born in Connecticut, he grew up knowing from an early age that he wanted to write and illustrate stories. Tomie’s books include folktale retellings and original stories, informative and historical nonfiction, and books with religious themes. All of them contain his unique sense of colour and design, and all of them celebrate the joy he found in the world around us.
