On the road to San Damiano, Grandma Nonna shares with her grandson Antonio a once-upon-a-time story about Saint Clare. Full-color illustrations and a delightful tale capture the beauty and faith of Saint Clare as she pursues her vocation and embraces the joyful and simple Franciscan spirituality. Ever appreciative of the little things, Clare's happiness blossoms even more with her wonderful discovery of a tiny kitten.

"It's no coincidence that Dessi rhymes with ""messy."" Her life is full of beautiful messes. Dessi Jackson has six beautiful children and every day is filled with books, toys, food, pets, chickens, gardening, and of course, family. To anyone else, it might look like a mess, but to her it is a beautiful mess. Dessi is a Byzantine Catholic immigrant from Bulgaria and now lives in the countryside of Maryland. This is her second picture book about a saint; she also writes for Seton Magazine . Martina Parnelli is an author, poet and illustrator who creates works using those talents, producing plays, children's books, and short stories. Drawing on a wealth of multicultural and multinational influences, her writings tend not to fall into any certain genre. Her interests include anything related to space and astrophysics, medicine, botany, and history. She currently resides in western Michigan where she enjoys teaching chickadees to eat from her hand."
