Mother Teresa: Seeing the Face of Jesus

Immediately engaging young viewers by showing Mother Teresa rescuing hospitalized children from war-ravaged Beirut, the iconographic-animated biography Mother Teresa: Seeing the Face of Jesus—charmingly illustrated by Bryan Miller and beautifully narrated by Lanette Marquardt—presents an overview of Mother Teresa's life in short segments covering her childhood, religious service to the poor, and work as a world activist. Packing a tremendous amount of detail into just over a half hour, this winsome children's title (named for Mother Teresa's observation that she saw the face of Jesus in each of the sick and dying people she helped) is both substantial and quietly effective, just like Mother Teresa was herself. Highly recommended. Aud: E, I, P. (J. Reed)
