The Saint Who Built Websites - St. Carlo Acutis

A new classic series that goes beyond simple storytelling. Stories of the Saints keeps the profound lessons of courage and compassion taught by holy figures alive, in an engaging and accessible format.

This book is all about Saint Carlos Acutis, the patron saint of youth, computer programmers, and influencers. Carlo created a website that documented Eucharistic miracles to help spread the word of God. Sadly, Carlo died of leukemia at the age of 15, but his legacy lives on. After his death, many miracles have been attributed to Saint Carlo.

Each book in Stories of the Saints retells the classic life stories of a different saint, sharing their miraculous deeds in an engaging and accessible way. The stunning illustrations will capture and enthrall young minds whilst teaching important values and virtues. To mark the importance of each title and the lessons learnt, there is a prayer at the end of the book.
