Princess Charity's golden heart
Jeanna Stolle Young, Jacqueline Kinney Johnson
- Reading
- Read together and pause at Charity’s decision. Invite the child to explain what each choice might mean, then connect the story to the Good Samaritan parable if that is useful for your family.
- Themes
- Compassion and helping: Charity sees an injured boy whom others have passed by and faces a choice about whether to help. The choice is framed as a lesson in love and as a retelling of the Good Samaritan parable, supporting a positive reading of helping someone in need.
- Worth knowing
- An injured boy has fallen from his horse, and others pass him without stopping. This prompts Charity’s moral dilemma.
