Who Was Mother Teresa? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Born a humble girl in what is now Albania, Agnes Bojaxhiu lived a charitable life. She pledged herself to a religious order at the age of 18 and chose the name Sister Teresa, after the patron saint of missionaries. While teaching in India, where famine and violence had devastated the poor, Teresa shed her habit and walked the streets of Calcutta tending to the needs of the destitute. Her charity work soon expanded internationally, and her name remains synonymous with compassion and devotion to the poor.

I did not purchase this book as the description is inaccurate. I would certainly hope the authors verify the facts that they present. Mother Teresa was not born in what is now Albania. She was born in Skopje, which is now the Republic of Macedonia. It gives me little confidence in the other books in this series.
Love these books. My son, who is 9 has been reading them for a little over a year now and this book is wonderful. I must say that this one is not one of his favorites. He is a history junkey, lol. He so far seems to love the Jackie Robinson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, Robert E Lee, What is the world series the best as a 8 and 9 year old.I also read these to him in the evenings and I really enjoy them as a 40 year old father. I have learned so much from them as well. Sometimes I read them before or after my son in order to have an educated discussion with him about the subject of the book. I really also get alot out of them as well.
The book came with a bent corner
It was our first book from "Who Was" and we are very happy with this book. It gives you plenty information about the person. My daughter enjoyed reading this book. We order 4 more book :D
The biography is complete and interesting for young learners. I bought them for students who learn English as a second language and they are suitable for them.
There is no better way to introduce 6 year olds to the biography genre than this series. They are short, have pictures and are factual!
I bought it for a 4th grade reading project for my grandson, but I learned a lot about Mother Teresa from the book.
I am a nine year old girl and loved reading this book. It was awesome. Her life is so powerful.
