"What a joy to read about the tie that binds the peoples of this world together instead of the differences that unravel us in such destructive ways. Entitled The Golden Rule, this book’s marvelous cover drew me in and the story line insisted I purchase it. Christians, Buddhists, American Indians, Jews, Muslims all have very similar versions of “The Golden Rule” in their traditions. This charming story of a boy and his grandfather exploring these versions, discussing how each person can concretely live “The Golden Rule”, and talking about the ramifications if everyone did practice his/her tradition’s “Golden Rule” is for all ages. Whether you use it as a starting point for a discussion with a Sunday School class, for the Children’s Sermon, or for a special child in your own life, The Golden Rule is just the book you need to teach important concepts such as peace, friendship, hospitality, and agape love. Adults will appreciate it as much, if not more, than children because of its message and its beautiful illustrations."
The Golden Rule was written by Ilene Cooper and illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska. More information about this book and its author is available on the author's website. The Golden Rule is available in the PEVA Resource Center.
