"Kirkus Reviews""Landmann has made a near-magical series of images illustrating [Pope John XXIII's] prayer. . . . Plenty of wisdom here for older children and adults of many faiths." "Wall Street Journal" From childhood, the man who would become Pope John XXIII (1958-63) vowed to live with kindness, simplicity and humility. This ambition gave rise to his daily dedication, or Decalogue, which begins: Just for today, I will try to live for this day alone, without wishing to solve my life's problems all at once.' Italian artist Bimba Landmann has paired his words with dreamlike, allegorical paintings of a young man in a city of turrets and towers.
