Agnes (later to become Mother Teresa) was born in Skopje, Macedonia. From an early age, she knew she wanted to dedicate herself to religion. She was fascinated by stories of missionaries helping people and wanted to do the same. She spent the rest of her life caring for the sick and poor around the world and is now remembered as Saint Teresa of Calcutta. Babies and toddlers will love to snuggle as you read to them the engaging story of this amazing missionary, and will also enjoy exploring the stylish and quirky illustrations of this sturdy board book on their own.
