Bob tells the true story of Robert Francis Prevost, the boy from Chicago who would grow up to become a missionary, a bishop, and eventually Pope Leo XIV. Told like a modern fairy tale, the story follows Bob from his childhood and school days to his mission in Peru and the surprising moment when he is elected Pope. Along the way, young readers discover the values of learning, service, faith, perseverance, and kindness. Without turning biography into a history lesson, the book shows how even the most extraordinary lives begin with small steps, curious questions, and everyday choices. This book is part of the People of Our Time series, created for children aged 6 to 12. Through true stories told in a simple and engaging way, the series introduces young readers to contemporary people who have made a positive difference through courage, commitment, creativity, and solidarity.
