Mother to the Poor
The Story of Blessed Teresa of Calcutta

Written by Jung-wook Ko
Illustrated by Seung-bum Park

There are so many people in our world who need help. How can just one person make a difference?

In this book kids meet Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, one person who made a difference by deciding to follow Jesus’ teachings to help those who are less fortunate. Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity cared for many thousands of “the poorest of the poor” in India and around the world. From her childhood in Albania to the crowded streets of Calcutta, this is her amazing story.

Includes a timeline of the life of Bl. Teresa of Calcutta, a glossary of terms, and colorful, lively illustrations.
