\u2018What drew my attention in the book, besides the gorgeous photos and testimonies, was the way that the building of the Francis of Assisi Park is narrated. I have never seen such a beautiful, real and true thing as we see in this book. We see that there is a true love for the animals there\u2019, said the councilor Carlos Leite.<\/p>\n
