Pope Francis's life and ground-breaking leadership are brought to life for young readers in this lyrical and inspirational picture book biography. Spanish language edition.

Jorge Bergoglio was a typical boy growing up in Buenos Aires, Argentina, jumping into pick-up soccer games and listening to lively music on the city streets. His grandma Rosa taught him the importance of doing good and inspired his passion to help others. This passion and years of hard work led him to become a Jesuit priest, a bishop, and then a cardinal.

And now the world knows Jorge by a different name--Pope Francis.

As the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis has focused on another word for pope: pontiff, a person who builds bridges to reach everyone, no matter who they are. Speaking out on the most important issues of our time, he has become an influential voice in our world--a true pontiff, a builder of bridges.

This story of how an ordinary boy became a beloved world leader will inspire and inform readers of all ages.

Jorge Bergoglio era un tipico chico de Buenos Aires, Argentina, que jugaba picaditos de futbol y escuchaba musica alegre en las calles de su ciudad. Su abuela Rosa le enseno la importancia de hacer el bien e inspiro su pasion por ayudar a otros. Esta pasion y anos de esfuerzo lo llevaron a convertirse en un sacerdote jesuita, en un obispo y, luego, en un cardenal.

Y ahora el mundo conoce a Jorge con un nombre diferente: papa Francisco.

Como lider de la Iglesia catolica romana, el papa Francisco se ha enfocado en la otra palabra para 'papa', 'pontifice': una persona que crea puentes para llegar a todos, sin importar quienes sean. Expresandose sobre los asuntos mas importantes de nuestro tiempo, se ha convertido en una influyente voz en nuestro mundo, en un verdadero pontifice: un creador de puentes.

Esta historia de como un chico comun se convirtio en un lider mundial inspirara e informara a lectores de todas las edades.

Oliver Dominguez was born and raised in the South side of Miami, where he spent his time reading comics, watching cartoons and playing with action figures. In school, he was called "the artist boy" because he always carried a huge portfolio. He studied Illustration at Ringling College of Art + Design and spent two summers attending in The Illustration Academy. Now his weeks are spent working as a freelance artist, a children's book artist, and illustrating his own stories. His love of historical figures has lead him to illustrate two children's books called Electrical Wizard: How Nikola Tesla Lit the World and Miracle Mud: Lena Blackburne and The Secret Mud that Changed Baseball. He currently lives in Fort Myers with his lovely wife Melissa, his adorable two children Aubrey and Gage, and also his two dogs, Hazel and Houston.
