In collections 1-5, you'll dive into the life of Christianity's boldest heroes of the Faith, including:

• St. Patrick, a young boy captured by Irish pirates and made a slave, only to escape and later return to convert all of pagan Ireland to Christianity.
• St. Nicholas, the orphaned boy who generously ministered to the sick and the poor, and eventually became the wise and just bishop of Myra.
• St. Anthony of Padua, the brilliant young Franciscan friar whose deepest desire was to be a martyr for Christ.
• St. Willibrord, the bold and fearless missionary priest who converted the people of the Netherlands despite the murderous threats of a hostile pagan king;
• Pope St. Celestine V, the humble hermit who was named the head of the Catholic Church — and was the first pope to resign from his position.
• And many more: St. Jerome Emiliani, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Henry Morse, St. Joan of Arc, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Brigid of Ireland, St. Pachomius, St. Anne Line, St. Ava, St. Samson, St. Bernadette, St. Charles Lwanga, St. Margaret of Scotland, St. Stanislaus, St. Rose of Lima, St. Dominic, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Clare, St. Germaine of Pibrac, and St. Vincent de Paul.

Zahra hugs her cherished teddy bear and prays that Ramadan will bring her a longed-for sister. When her bear subsequently goes missing, Zahra finds herself grappling with intense feelings of loss. Over the next few weeks, as she volunteers with her mother at a local shelter for asylum seekers, Zahra befriends a displaced child, resulting in a newfound sense of gratitude and an unexpected Ramadan blessing.

• SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING: Young readers will relate to Zahra's feelings of loss when she can't find her teddy bear, which serves as a bridge for empathizing with the relatively extreme loss experienced by the refugee child in the story.
• RAMADAN & ISLAM: Written by a Muslim author and illustrated by a Muslim artist, the story immerses readers in the rituals of Ramadan, while endnotes provide additional factual information about Ramadan, Islam and variations in Muslim traditions.
• ASYLUM SEEKERS & DISPLACEMENT: Provides a sensitive portrayal of displacement for children who are both familiar and unfamiliar with the concept. Endnotes explain more about asylum seekers, refugees, shelters and long-term foster care.
