"Entertaining and educational, this book is well suited for new readers and as a read aloud book. Although technically a children's book, this story will also delight adults.A charming book about inter- faith relations, and it is wonderfully illustrated by Amalia Hoffman.Her illustrations are warm and inviting, offering the opportunity for young readers to follow the story from the pictures alone."

"This is a lovely picture book for bringing understanding between Jews and Catholics.
Based on the true story of the author and his family, this is heart warming and touching. The Pope's words and actions clearly inspire young Jacob. The soft pastel colored illustrations add to the gentle appeal of the story."
