Summary: from good reads
Many stories are told about Saint Nicholas -- stories about his generosity and his miracles, stories about the concern he showed for those in poverty. This warm, inviting books tells many of these stories, both familiar and lesser-known. It recounts how he ended a famine by multiplying grain from a merchant ship and how he walked on water to rescue sailors from a terrible storm. And, of course, it tells the story of how Nicholas gave his inheritance to prevent a desperate man from selling his daughters into slavery.Anselm Grun's simple, graceful text and Giuliano Ferri's beautiful paintings combine to provide the perfect way to introduce young readers to the rich life of this beloved saint.
Feelings:
This was a different story of Saint Nicholas than what I had been previously familiar with. I liked that it shows him as an individual that gave what he could to help others. The art work fit the story well in my opinion. I did like the story but it seemed to be lacking something that made it shine and stick out among other books about Saint Nicholas.
