This book on St. Patrick for kids recounts the life of one of our most celebrated saints. In Patrick: Saint of Ireland, author Joyce Denham draws upon legend and St. Patrick's own writings to tell kids this saint's fascinating story and to offer them important lessons about life and faith. St. Patrick’s own prayers provide a lyrical element to the adventure.
