About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6. This biography concentrates on Mother Teresa's life from age 12, when she was called by God to become a nun, through the time she left the convent to work directly with the ill and poor of Calcutta. Her later work is mentioned. The author enlivens her subject's story with imagined dialogue, emotions, situations, and thoughts that are sweet and uplifting, but conjectural. A factual synopsis and chronology of Mother Teresa's life, a list of some of her many awards, and a number of inspirational quotations are useful inclusions. The glossary and index, however, contain many irrelevant items, and the list for further reading is not limited to books for children. The full-page black-and-white pictures are flat and bland. Vanora Leigh's Mother Teresa (Bookwright, 1986; o.p.) is better illustrated and more factual.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA
