A Boy Who Became Pope: The Story of Saint John Paul II (First Edition, Signed Copy)

Before he was Pope John Paul II, he was Lolek—a boy from Poland who loved the outdoors, acted in plays, and asked big questions about life and love. He faced great loss at a young age, but through it all, he stayed close to God.

This illustrated biography introduces kids to the childhood of Karol Wojtyła and the moments that shaped him into a saint. Written for ages 6–9, it’s a heartfelt story about finding strength in faith and choosing love—especially when it’s hard.

This first edition comes signed, and includes a small caricature of JPII. If you’d like the book personalized, just leave a note at checkout. If not, it will come signed with the illustration.

JPII, we love you!
