Children are “naturally” religious, meaning that they ask themselves the great questions of existence. They can understand that conversion is not a moralistic path, but a different way of thinking, therefore of living. They can understand that sin is not a question of catechism, but to avoid harm others and yourself. They may be interested in prayer: not repeating formulas by heart but thinking, listening and asking questions about life (what Jesus called God). They can appreciate parables, extraordinary fables. With this mind, the book aims to present, in a very human and non-religious way, 50 significant words used by Jesus, each combined with an illustration that illuminates it and a short final “game”. All ennobled by the preface by prof. Umberto Galimberti.
