Customer Reviews

written for children 10 and up

The Vision book series was originally intended for children 10 and up. There is much to be learned by adults as well as children in the series. I understand wanting more depth with regard to the lives of the saints. I have not come across any on Mother Cabrini either that are targeted at adults.
