A little love and compassion goes a long way Once upon a time, a young girl was taught by her mother that all people were her people. So Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu undertook an incredible journey from her home in Albania to Ireland and finally, India, touching the lives of millions as she went. And somewhere along the way, she transformed into the beloved Mother Teresa, whose warmth and humanity moved the world.First in a series of illustrated books created for young readers to get to know our global icons better, this engaging biography will take you through the saint’s life of selfless service—her childhood, her inspirations and her battles as she set out to aid the poor and the homeless on the streets of Calcutta.
Sonia Mehta is a children's writer who believes that sparking off a child's imagination opens up a world of adventure. She has been writing for children for over two decades. Her body of work is wide-ranging-she created one of India's first dedicated children's newspaper sections; conceptualized the Cadbury Bournvita Quiz Contest for TV; and has written books, songs, poems and stories for leading publishers in India, several African nations, the USA and the UK.
She lives in Mumbai and runs Quadrum Solutions, a content company she co-founded. She is also the co-founder of PodSquad, a retail children's edutainment brand that firmly believes that children learn best when they are having fun.
Most days, Sonia can be found pounding away at her computer-when she is not playing with her dachshunds, the two little loves of her life.
