Description
Jesus Played Marbles is a beautifully illustrated tale about how the young boy Jesus breaks down prejudice and discrimination in the village of Nazareth directed against Joby, a fellow young boy suffering from poverty and disability.
Through a simple game of marbles, Joby is embraced by Jesus who teaches his ‘brothers’ (cousins) an important lesson in love and kindness. What will happen when Jesus has his turn?
As you read, you will also learn about each of Jesus’ cousins in short personal histories.

Brilliant.
Absolutely loved this book! I bought it purely because I knew the author. I showed it to my 8 and 7 year old and they both asked if they could read it. I didn’t realise they’d love it so much! They both told me what the story was about and were really touched by it. Thank you Robert Haddad for a great book and Joshua too!
