With bold, bright illustrations, Bijou Le Tord brings fresh life to Jesus' parables for young readers. In simple language, Le Tord explains how Jesus used everyday images from life and nature to teach his listeners about God's kingdom and God's love. By focusing on the Parable of the Sower and the Parable of the Mustard Seed, Le Tord shows how "God's little seeds" can take root and grow in our hearts and lives. Full color.
