This story begins in 1407 when two brothers made their way to a monastery gatehouse to ask to be admitted into the reformed Dominicans.  One of the brothers, later known as Fra Angelico, would work hard to overcome many obstacles to perfect himself as an artist.  Many of his paintings are still seen today.

Level 2 books in the Footsteps of the Saints series are about 90-96 pages each and are written for about a fourth grade reading level or higher although some third graders are able to read them as well because of the large print size and double spacing between lines. This series has books about well-known saints, but it also includes stories about saints and other Catholics that you don't hear about very often.
