Sacred Stories

**This comprehensive collection of timeless and powerful stories puts the wisdom of world religions in the hands of young readers.** When attempting to find a simple, engaging, and unbiased approach to world religions for her own family, Marilyn McFarlane discovered such a book did not exist. Understanding how important it is for children to build both respect for and knowledge of a variety of religions, regardless of their own faith, McFarlane created *Sacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions*. Each captivating story and accompanying sidebar facts and spot illustrations brings to life the key tenets of a particular belief system, while the comprehensive glossary and resource list enable readers to expand their explorations. Including easy-to-understand descriptions and essential stories from Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native American, and Sacred Earth, *Sacred Stories* is perfect for parents and teachers who want to expand young readers’ understanding of world traditions. **The simple, informative, unbiased language of *Sacred Stories* , combined with its comprehensive resource list and glossary, makes it an ideal learning tool for teachers, librarians, and other educators.**
