Joseph and Chico

I read today Joseph and Chico: The Life of Pope Benedict XVI as Told by a Cat, by Jeanne Perego with an introduction by Msgr. Georg Ganswein, the Holy Father's private secretary.

I highly recommend this book to you and encourage to consider giving a copy of it to your local parochial grade school.

It is a fine - and short - biography of Pope Benedict XVI through his election as Pontiff, seemingly focusing on the many moves that he and his family throughout his life.

Chico, our narrator cat, offers several key insights into humanity, not to mention a few insights into the feline world. Chico even gives us the Latin words for mouse, cat and food bowl.

This charmingly written and illustrated little book will be enjoyed by everyone who wants to know more about the Holy Father.
