This beautiful collection includes the best-known parables of Jesus: the Prodigal Son, the Mustard Seed, the Lost Sheep, and fourteen others. The retellings are lyrically written but also accessible to young children. Tomie dePaola drew his inspiration for the gem-like illustrations from early Christian art of the Romanesque period. Originally published as The Parables of Jesus and unavailable for many years, this opulent edition features a graceful new design.
