From Buddha to Jesus to the Sufi masters of Islam, spiritual teachers have used stories to convey basic messages about truth and right living." --Colleen McDonald. Nineteen stories bring to life the seven UU principles. Each story is followed by discussion questions, activities and a reading list. All ages.

Family story time, intergenerational worship, children’s chapel, home schooling, camp programs--these are just a few of the contexts in which this resource is useful. In addition to activities and discussion questions, McDonald offers helpful tips on storytelling in the beginning of the book. The stories and follow-up material focus on core UU principles, encouraging children--and adults--to feel comfortable with themselves, to stand up for their beliefs even if those beliefs are “unpopular,” and to be kind to others. Issues involving differently-abled people, homophobia, conflict resolution, mortality and sharing a diverse and fragile world environment are handled with directness and honesty.
