The life of Saint Andrew the Apostle, the First-Called, as the Gospel, the Acts of the Apostles and the Synaxarion tell it: the fisherman from Bethsaida, the disciple of John the Baptist, the brother who ran to tell Peter "We have found the Messiah!", the apostle who brought the Gospel to the people of Dobruja, in today's Romania.
Every moment of his life has two facing pages: the text on the left, short and clear, good for reading aloud, and a whole painting on the right, in warm colours and gold.
Besides the story, the child follows the saint's journeys on a map, from Jerusalem to Tomis and Patras, learns about his cave in Dobruja, why the X-shaped cross bears his name, how to recognise him in icons and what an icon painted by Emmanuel Tzanes in 1658 shows.
At the end come a short prayer, a colouring page in the colours of the icon and nine questions for parents. The first page has room for the child's name. The book is in Romanian.
