In spare yet elegant language, the author explains to children of all faiths the meaning of one of the world's best-known prayers. First she introduces the man named Jesus who taught the prayer and recounts his parable of the prodigal son. Jesus ended the parable by comparing God to the prodigal son's loving father. The author then repeats the words of the Lord's Prayer, for each phrase adding a clear explanation every child can understand. Richly colored illustrations have a simplicity that appeals to all ages.
