Sankt Martin is a picture book covering the life of Saint Martin of Tours, who is a much bigger deal in Germany than in most English-speaking lands. It covers his entire life, with a focus on his childhood, the famous incident with the cloak, and retirement from the army. What really makes this book though is the lovely watercolor illustrations by Johanna Ignjatovic they perfectly balance beauty and accessibility to tell Saint Martin's story to those who can't read the text yet. Highly show more recommended. show less
