A brief introduction about the process of becoming a saint, a list of additional resources and a glossary round out this fascinating and instructional picturebook--though due to its small typeface and relative quantity of text, More Saints is most appropriate for young readers who are almost ready for chapter books. Also highly recommended is Sanderson's first volume in the series, "Saints: Lives and Illuminations".
