Follow the young Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu as she grows up, travels far from home, and becomes one of the most beloved figures of our time: Mother Teresa. This new leveled reader from National Geographic Kids journeys from Ireland to India, portraying the charity and hard work of Mother Teresa and the nuns who followed in her footsteps.

Level 1 text is carefully leveled for an early independent reading or read aloud experience, perfect to inspire the humanitarians of tomorrow!
BARBARA KRAMER began writing biographies for children and young adults after following the advice of another author who said, "Write what you like to read." She remembered how much she enjoyed biographies when she was a kid, especially stories about trailblazers such as Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, and Elizabeth Blackwell and decided that's what she wanted to write. Her subjects have included both historical figures and people in the news.
