Br. Peregrine and the Pearl

Brother Peregrine lives a quiet life as a hermit monk, praying, tending his garden, and making beautiful books and statues in his little hut on the hill. One day, after he shares his simple supper with a hungry pilgrim, he discovers a mysterious gift left behind: a magnificent pearl, with a note that says, "God will show you what to do with this."Brother Peregrine prays for wisdom and sets out toward the city, hoping to give the pearl where it is needed most. But along the way, the treasure falls into the hands of a robber-who soon learns that riches can bring fear instead of joy.Told in the spirit of an illuminated medieval tale, Brother Peregrine and the Pearl is a gentle story of generosity, repentance, and the freedom found in trusting God. With richly imagined scenes of monastic life and a timeless message about the value of a soul, this book invites children and families to consider what true treasure really is.
