Les chercheurs de Dieu #27

This 2016 Bayard Jeunesse volume in the long-running Les chercheurs de Dieu series brings together three remarkable figures of contemporary faith — Pope Francis, Jeanne Jugan, and Jean Vanier — in accessible bande dessinée format. The cover depicts a warmly smiling Pope Francis in his distinctive purple vestments, staff in hand, standing before a sun-lit shoreline where boats carry groups of people across the water, seabirds circling overhead. It's an inviting portrait that captures a sense of compassion and openness, making this an appealing introduction to these lives of service for younger readers.
