Description
The story of St. Francis of Assisi—the Catholic saint who gave up everything to honour all life on Earth—retold by human rights crusader and public servant Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
He adopted the life of an itinerant preacher and made it his mission to teach about the sanctity of all life on Earth, becoming an advocate of animal rights and environmentalism in a time when even human life often had little value. He gave up all of his wealth and earthly possessions, and turned away from his life of privilege to live with the outcasts in his society.
Saint Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.—a father, a devout Roman Catholic, a crusader for clean air and water, an advocate for public health, and a member of a family famous for its dedication to the American people. Kennedy has chosen to retell this saint's classic tales hoping to teach its important messages to children around the world.

Saint Francis of Assisi by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a children's book that highlights the saint's profound impact and spiritual journey. The narrative conveys Kennedy's admiration and personal connection to St. Francis, emphasising his kindness and dedication to the impoverished and nature. The book combines historical storytelling with fictional dialogue and features realistic oil paintings, though some elements, like the New Age angel, are noted as anachronistic. Reviewers appreciate the book's heartfelt portrayal and its ability to capture the essence of St. Francis despite certain artistic choices.
