Kateri Tekakwitha: Model of Bravery

Kateri Tekakwitha is the first North American Indian to become a saint. She was a brave little girl, and when she grew up she taught the children many things about Jesus.

Emphasizing Saint Kateri's special virtue of courage, author and long-time elementary educator Barbara Yoffie helps readers develop an understanding of saints as real-life heroes and heroines who live all around and inspire us to become more like Christ.

The story of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha comes to life in colourful, full-page illustrations and lively text for children ages 4 through 9.
