The story of the Good Samaritan highlights the Christian belief in the importance of loving your neighbour. It's the story a traveller who is beaten and left for dead by the roadside. The first passersby who approach him refuse to help - it's only the Samaritan, perhaps the least likely person to offer assistance, who shows the man kindness. Part of a series of six parables, retold simply and clearly, ensuring they are the perfect first introduction for young children to Jesus' much-loved stories. Beautifully illustrated, the picture book approach means each story can be read to the child but can also be enjoyed by children on their own as their reading skills develop. Next steps at the back of the book encourage further discussion and there's a rhyme for children to join in with and lots to spot.
