Join Ellie and Ollie on a heartwarming journey as they discover one of Jesus' most powerful and timeless parables-The Good Samaritan.
As the sun shines over the rolling hills and dusty roads of ancient Judea, Ellie the curious ginger kitten and Ollie the gentle golden retriever find themselves watching an important lesson unfold. A traveller has been hurt and left alone beside the road. One by one, people pass by, noticing the man but choosing not to stop. Ellie feels sad and confused. Why isn't anyone helping?
Then a Samaritan traveller arrives.
Instead of hurrying past, he kneels beside the injured man, cares for him, helps him onto his donkey, and makes sure he is safe. Through this simple but powerful act of kindness, Ellie and Ollie learn an important lesson about compassion, empathy, and loving others-even when it is not easy.
Written by teachers Marina Swan and Lucy Maud, The Good Samaritan is a gentle and engaging retelling of the beloved Bible story, carefully adapted for young children. The story remains faithful to the message Jesus taught while presenting the events in a warm, age-appropriate way that children can understand and connect with.
Beautifully illustrated in a whimsical hand-drawn watercolor style, the book transports readers into the biblical world while maintaining the charm and warmth that Ellie and Ollie readers have come to love. Throughout the story, Ellie and Ollie help young readers process what they have seen by reflecting on the events and discussing the lesson in a relatable way.
This thoughtful approach encourages meaningful conversations about faith, kindness, inclusion, helping others, and making positive choices in everyday life.
Perfect for families, classrooms, Christian school, Sunday schools, church groups, and children's ministries, The Good Samaritan provides a wonderful introduction to one of the Bible's most important teachings.
