He became interested in art at an early age. By the time he was a young man, he was an accomplished artist and had carved many statues. When Pope Julius II asked Michelangelo to paint frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo hesitated. He considered himself to be a sculptor, not a painter. Fortunately for those who throughout the centuries have appreciated his artwork, Michelangelo listened to the Pope and began painting. Reading this story can encourage us to follow in the footsteps of Michelangelo, who had the courage to use his talent in new ways, thereby bringing greater glory to God. Level 1 books in the Footsteps of the Saints series are about 32 pages each and are written as read-alouds for your beginning readers at about a second grade reading level. The print size is large to make it easier to read for young readers, and there are many wonderful illustrations to give a visual for your younger children who are listening. Br.
