About this ebook
Saint Francis is one of the most loved saints in the world. He lived a simple life, dedicated to Jesus. He loved animals and nature, and believed we have a responsibility to look after them.

His father was a wealthy cloth merchant named Pietro Bernardone. His mother was a French noblewoman named Lady Pica Bourlemont.
Pietro was away on business when Francis was born and baptized. He was angry that his son was named Giovanni. He changed the boy's name to Francis.
