VATICAN CITY — A new illustrated children’s book detailing Pope Benedict XVI’s daily life was published Thursday as the pontiff celebrated his 82nd birthday in the quiet company of his older brother.
“Max and Benedict,” about a sparrow’s impressions of the pope from his perch on St. Peter’s Basilica, is a sequel of sorts to the 2007 children’s book “Joseph and Chico,” which told the story of the pope’s early years from the point of view of a tabby cat.
