With a population of over 14 million, Kolkata (Calcutta) is the third largest city in India. Of that 15 million, over four hundred thousand people live on the streets. In the poorest neighborhood of Kolkata, a Catholic nun from Macedonia named Mother Teresa gave love and a helping hand to the people who lived there. This is the story of a remarkable woman who devoted her life to the poor in a land far from her birthplace and inspired the entire world: Mother Teresa, recipient of the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize. "Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” —Mother Teresa

My 7-year old and I really enjoyed this comic. The tone/script captures (my idea of) Mother Teresa perfectly, and teaches about the history of her life and the influence she wrought worldwide. The manga style is silly at times and kept my little one laughing. It was a little distracting for me but I don't think it hurts the value of this book as a teaching tool at all; in fact it enhances it. I think my child will retain the information much better than a drier biography full of photographs. I did feel the need to show her pictures of Mother Teresa afterward, however, so she could recognize her real-life image! The only thing I would suggest to improve upon the book is a photograph of the subject at the end (or a more realistic-looking drawing). I wish I could find the other books in this series!
