Many people can identify the name of St. Peter Claver from school, church or missals, but they are unfamiliar with this courageous and just man. This beautifully illustrated, bilingual book will introduce young children (and their parents) to his life and times. Peter Claver was a Spanish Jesuit missionary who came to the New World in 1610. When he arrived in Cartagena he was shocked by the slave trade and dedicated himself for forty years to gaining freedom for the slaves while he cared for them, bringing them food and medicine and tending the sick. He caught the plague and died in 1654. Because of his tireless work, he is the patron saint of slaves, African-Americans and race relations.
