021420 King of the ShatteredMarguerite is an orphan who works in the King’s kitchen. When she repeatedly breaks the King’s precious glass, those around her tell her to bury the glass and hide the evidence. But Marguerite knows what she must do: she brings the broken shards to the King, explains what happened and says she is sorry.

This beautifully illustrated story is a tale of courage, honesty and bravery. More than that, what Marguerite receives from the King is what we all experience when we go to the Lord in confession: His loving mercy!

This story is perfect for older children and a refreshing reminder for everyone that God’s mercy knows no bounds.
