Explore the wisdom, traditions, and timeless stories of the world’s great religions in this engaging collection created to inspire curiosity, understanding, and connection in young readers.
How can we help young readers understand the many ways people around the world find meaning, practice faith, and make sense of life’s biggest questions?
Created by Marilyn McFarlane after searching for an accessible way to introduce her own family to the world’s religious traditions, Sacred Stories: Wisdom from World Religions invites young readers to explore the stories, beliefs, and wisdom that have shaped cultures and communities for generations.
Through engaging stories and easy-to-understand introductions, readers encounter traditions including Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Native American traditions, and Sacred Earth traditions. Sidebars filled with fascinating facts and spot illustrations add context along the way, helping children discover the beliefs, practices, values, and stories associated with each tradition.
More than a collection of stories, Sacred Stories encourages curiosity about the many ways people understand and experience the world. A comprehensive glossary and resource list invite readers to continue exploring while providing parents, teachers, librarians, and homeschoolers with tools for meaningful conversations about religion, culture, faith, and belief.
Thoughtful, informative, and approachable, Sacred Stories opens a window into the world’s religious traditions while encouraging knowledge, understanding, and respect.
