In medieval France, a plague of voracious insects is destroying the crops. To stop the resulting famine, one young girl must call upon her courage—and upon the Blessed Virgin Mary—for nothing short of a miracle. In this poignant legend, learn how the ladybug came to have its name as you share in the faith journey of Brigitte, a child who has so much to give despite all that she has lost.
The legend as told by Maria Illich leads the reader though this period of history, the ladybug’s role in saving the people, and the courageous faith a of a young girl. The Legend of the Ladybug will capture the hearts of all who read it and endure for years to come.
