Meet this Author: Anne Neuberger

8.5 X 11” -- 104 pages

The next time your child or the children you teach cry, “tell me a story!” invite them into the wonderful world of All God’s Children. These delightful stories give children unique insights into the way other children live in far-off places like India, Turkey, China, Ethiopia, and Iraq. Each introduces exotic places and wonderful customs and traditions, and also offers guidelines for “before reading the story,” and questions, activities, and prayers for “after reading the story.” Author Anne Neuberger takes storytelling to a whole new level.

Best of all, Neuberger’s stories introduce children, parents, and teachers to Catholic Social Teaching in a simple yet profound way. She gently creates an awareness of our responsibility to one another as a human family and as God’s family.

Twenty-six of the stories are about individual children from diverse cultures and sixteen are based on cultural feasts and festivals from around the world. All are excellent, informative, and fun.

Anne Neuberger writes stories for children so they can move into the world with compassion, confidence, and a strong connection with God. A parent, former teacher, and freelance writer, she focuses on books for children pre k-8th grade.
