What do heroes do?Do they fight monsters? Sometimes, but they also hold the hands of people who are sick and lonely. They build schools. They study the planets. They forgive those who have harmed them. Heroes are people who look at the world around them, see what needs to be done, and through the grace of God find the strength to help others.In the thirty-six stories in Loyola Kids Book of Heroes, youll meet a Catholic nun who stood up to the most infamous outlaw in the Old West. Youll learn how entire villages of men and women devoted their lives to building great cathedrals to show their love and respect for God. Youll learn about John the Baptist, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Charlemagne, St. Albert the Great, Dorothy Day, St. Patrick, and many others. Most of all, youll learn that with Gods help anyone can be a hero and make the world a better place.
