Jeanna Young and Jacqueline Johnson, with the help of illustrator Omar Aranda, have produced three wonderful books for children four and up that tells stories to illustrate parables from the Bible. The authors take a slightly different approach to introducing the parables. They give the story first and then present the reader with a parable that makes both the story and the parable more meaningful. Each of the three books teaches a different parable. The stories are straightforward and to point and the illustrations bring the story to life and will be appreciated by young readers.

Princess Hope and the Hidden Treasure is the story of a princess and her search for a special object and her faith and determination allowed her to find the special object that meant so much to her. Then the authors explained how this story was like the parable in the bible: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. Matthew 13:44-45
