New book teaches young readers about empathy and compassion

KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Stephen D. Jones returns to the publishing scene with "Jesus and the Howling Monster!" (published by Trafford Publishing), a beautifully illustrated storybook that brings to life a powerful tale of compassion and acceptance.

This children's storybook tells the story of Jesus' encounter with a man named Legion, a man with scary monster-like qualities, chained to a rock and tormented by many confusing voices. Through his meeting with Jesus, Legion is healed and transformed, enabling him to rejoin society and live a flourishing life.

"All of us live in diverse situations of one kind or another, and children encounter this diversity in their neighborhoods and classrooms," the author states. "How do children relate to those who are different from them? Do they relate out of fear and avoidance, or do they relate out of love and friendship? This is a key learning for young children."

"Jesus and the Howling Monster!" illustrates the importance of compassion toward each other, despite the differences. The book will also appeal to teachers and parents who want to teach their children to vocalize their fears and overcome them.
