"Based on a parable from the New Testament, this touching story of forgiveness follows a wayward son whose poor choices lead him far from home. When he realizes the folly of his mistakes, he is moved to return to his family to make things right. Though his brother is angry and reluctant to forgive, his father greets him with open arms, and we are reminded of the healing power of love and that it is never too late to make good decisions. A moving portrait of unconditional love and acceptance in dual-language text to support emerging readers of Ethiopian languages." -- publisher
