WILLY FINDS VICTORY by Joan Stromberg
This is an interesting book aimed at bringing Blessed Seelos to children.It mixes fact and fiction to tell the story about a young boy called Willy who sets off to find his brother who is fighting in the American Civil War.Our children enjoyed the story basis where Willy has many adventures and meets many people trying to find his brother.One of the people he meets is Blessed Seelos.The problem our children had was with all the information about battles in the American Civil War.The author seems to be a bit of historian and put many many details and battles in the book adding an accurate historical account of the war.Our children who are not American did not understand this at all and much of the story lost them.For American children the book will be easier to understand.Dispite this struggling with American history,the children enjoyed the story and were taught a lot about who Blessed Seelos was dispite the fact Willy's character is completely fictitious.It belongs to the "Glory of America" series of books.These try to bring American saints lives into the hearts and minds of children.We recommend this book for all children wanting to know something about this wonderful priest who became a Blessed April 9th 2000.
