Jean-François Kieffer is a deacon and father of four children. Born in France in 1957, he has been an award-winning writer and illustrator of children's works.  

In the exciting days of chivalrous knights and wandering troubadours, a young orphaned poet and musician named Loupio travels throughout Italy experiencing many daring adventures.

Befriended by Francis of Assisi and accompanied by the wolf tamed by this saintly guide, Loupio's often dangerous encounters help him and young readers learn lessons of faith, hope, and charity.

In The Quest, volume 6 of this best-selling series, Loupio goes in search of a bell for his friend Saint Francis. Along the way, he is put to the test by dishonesty, hunger, cold, and discouragement. Trusting in God's providence, Loupio discovers his own resourcefulness and the kindness of strangers.

The excitement continues in this second volume of The Adventures of Loupio. In Volume 1, we meet the orphaned Loupio living in the days of knights and castles in Assisi, Italy. The young troubadour becomes the friend of Brother Francis and of the wolf tamed by the Saint. With his gift of song and his youthful enthusiasm, Loupio has many escapades in which he learns to love and be loved in return.

Volume 2 picks up the story with new challenges for Loupio. The youthful and colorful comic- book style presents to young readers an attractive example of a boy their age doing his best, though not without making a few mistakes along the way, to follow Jesus.
