Amar Chitra Katha (ACK), the publisher of Tinkle Digest and illustrated mythological books, will launch a book on Mother Teresa on August 26 to celebrate her 100th birth anniversary.
The book will narrate how Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, an Albanian by birth, made India her home and worked towards alleviating poverty and loneliness. After her death in 1997, she was beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
“What inspired a 12-year-old girl to travel to a far-away country to help the poor and bring joy to thousands of lives forms the crux of the story,” said Savita Pai, VP, product management, ACK Media.
Targeted at readers aged between 8-14 years, Pai said the book aims to tell children that it is never too early to fix a goal in life. “August 26, 2010, being the sentinel year of Mother Teresa’s birth is the perfect day to make people learn from a noble figure like her,” she said.
