Our Treasures Within

In this inspired work, best—selling children's book creators Peter H. Reynolds and his twin brother Paul use their art and storytelling to keep Pope Francis's uplifting and transformational messages touching lives for generations to come. 

Artfully blending and illuminating Pope Francis's words, Our Treasures Within speaks to hearts young and old. Page by page, this picture book invites us on a journey of self—discovery to discern our own gifts—and ponder how we will use them to make the world a better place. 

Inspired by a virtual gathering held by Pope Francis with children across the globe, Our Treasures Within shines a light on the special gifts within each of us and inspires us to share them with the world. 

In a picture book that is both timely and timeless, the wisdom of Pope Francis is brought to life by the combined efforts of Paul A. Reynolds and his twin brother, The New York Times best—selling author and illustrator Peter H. Reynolds. Children and families are invited to unearth the treasures buried inside themselves, celebrate those gifts, and use them to make the world a more hopeful place for everyone. 

A book to cherish, return to, and share, Our Treasures Within gently reminds us that we already carry everything we need to live lives of meaning and love. Our life’s work is to discover those gifts, to share them, and to witness how they ripple outward and transform the world.
