Paul-Emile Helps Those Less Fortunate
In this installment of the ValueTales series, Ann Donegan Johnson helps us appreciate charity by examining the life of Paul-Emile Leger (1904-1991).

The book introduces young Paul-Emile, who liked to climb the church bell-tower in his small Canadian village.Paul-Emile wanted to be a missionary when he grew up, so he worked hard to learn all the things he would need to know.When he was older, he fulfilled his dream by traveling to Japan as a missionary.After this experience, he returned to Canada and continued helping others.His efforts took him to Rome, Africa, and other places around the world.He was made a cardinal by the church and inspired many others to help the less fortunate.

Like other books in the ValueTales series, this book uses a real-life person to exemplify an important value.It is suitable for reading by children in the later elementary school grades.A "Historical Facts" section at the book's end summarizes Leger's life in a single-page bio form suitable for adults.

Closing quote:"Not all of us will become missionaries.We will not all devote our lives to helping the unfortunate as Paul-Emile did.But we all know people who are lonely and need a smile, handicapped people who need help, or unfortunate people who need love.And we can try our best to do something for such people.That, too, is charity."
