Dear Pope Francis: The Pope Answers Letters from Children Around the World Hardcover – February 1, 2016

This book is amazing! The letters are from children all over the world and even written in different languages. Pope Francis wrote back and provided answers to simple and difficult questions in such a beautiful way that truly speaks to children and people on every level. My children love reading it!

The book was in perfect condition and much cheaper than other options

A wonderful book for kids and adults alike.

My grandson really loved it

Totally recommend for the kiddos (and adults lol). Absolutely love this book and the responses from Pope Francis. Perfect gift idea too!!

I admit to being a big fan of Pope Francis. I received my copy of Dear Pope Francis this afternoon and sat down and read it. What a wonderful and powerful book this is. The some times profound and sometimes moving and most often simple questions of children from around the world and the loving and caring response given by Pope Francis brought tears to my eyes and moved my heart. It is a book I will share with my 7year old granddaughter but also with anyone who wants to learn ways to deepen their love of God. I can see it being used with children in a classroom - taking one question at a time to read and discuss. I can also see it used by those who give sermons directed at children. If you want some answers to the questions - Why are there not as many miracles anymore? What did God do before the world was made? And one of my favorites Do bad people have a guardian angel too? You will find the answers from Pope Francis in this book. The illustrations were done by the children who asked the question and are beautiful. Great book.

Gave this book as part of a First Communion gift to our 9 year old grandson . Well- selected letters/ topics from kids around the world. Beautifully illustrated with children’s own work. Very inviting to read. Even though hesitant to embrace it immediately, I think our grandson was intrigued and will read it in the privacy of his own room. Pope Francis has such a warm, compassionate and friendly way of responding to each question.

This is a beautiful book with letters from children all around the world with their questions for Pope Francis about God and Religion. I enjoyed reading this book with my children, it is so clear from Pope Francis' responses how dearly he lives and understands children. I love how easily he relates to them. I feel bad for taking off one star but feel I have to. One of the responses the Pope gives to a letter from a child asking about if non believers still go to heaven, his Holiness brings up suicide. I was not prepared at bedtime reading to have to explain the concept of suicide to my young children and had I known ahead of time would have skipped that page. My hope in writing this review is not to dissuade others from purchasing it for their children, but rather as a warning so you are not unprepared when reading it with your kids.
