Three Treasures for Catholic Children by Jean-Francois Kieffer

The Adventures of Lupio, Volume 2

I recently had the opportunity to review three wonderful children's books published by Magnificat and distributed through Ignatius Press. Each special in their own ways, I think they would make an excellent addition to any Catholic home or school library. All three were written by author illustrator Jean-Francois Kieffer and the second two mentioned here were co-written by Christine Ponsard and published in partnership with Magnificat.

The Adventures of Loupio, Volume 2: The Hunters and Other Stories

If you haven't yet read Volume 1 of the Adventures of Loupio, don't let that stop you. This was the first time I've met Loupio, an orphaned young boy who finds friendship with St. Francis of Assisi and a tamed wolf. The illustrations are charming and the multiple comic book style stories in this Volume will have your child asking for more.
