«Il nostro amico Jorge» is a picture book by Jeanne Perego and Giovanni Manna, published by San Paolo Edizioni in hardcover (48 pages, in Italian).
The book follows the life of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, from his childhood to his vocation and the path that led him to become Pope Francis. In eighteen scenes illustrated by Giovanni Manna, Jeanne Perego's text traces a portrait of the young Bergoglio in which children can recognize themselves; it closes with a message from Pope Francis for children.
The introduction is by Monsignor Eduardo Horacio García; it is part of the Mondo bambino collection (no. 42).
Aimed at children aged 9 and up, it serves both recreational reading and catechesis and youth ministry.
