Can someone recommend a biography of Benedict XVI for children?

I feel like I've seen something somewhere, but I've searched and searched and I am stumped.

Anyone?

Well, not really. But George Wiegel wrote a book about Pope Benedict. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0066213312/102-7731211-7331 344?v=glance&n=283155&s=books&v=glance

(Sorry clueless about how to make this url look like part of the post.)

I'd like to write a book about this Pope for children. I love Pope Benedict - even when he was Cardinal Ratzinger.

Your children will probably find it amazing that he was baptized the same day he was born - at the Easter Vigil Mass. How God is that!?

Thanks stef for the link! I looked at them, and near as I can figure, 1 of them is for kids. It's about both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II and is published by Scholastic.

Pope John Paul II And Pope Benedict XVI: Keepers of the Faith (Great Life Stories) (Hardcover)

I don't know a thing about the author (Susan Provost Beller)...
