Created for children aged 6 to 12, this book follows Sister Aziza, a Comboni missionary born in Eritrea who chooses to devote her life to caring for people in need.
From Africa to the Holy Land, Aziza lives alongside communities affected by war, poverty and displacement. She cares for the sick and wounded, comforts orphans, supports refugees and stands beside women who have experienced violence and human trafficking.
Wherever she goes, Aziza listens to those whose voices are too often ignored. With courage, compassion and determination, she shows that standing beside another person can become a way of crossing borders, building bridges and restoring hope.
