Jareb, a young shepherd who bursts into song when he is afraid, experiences an exciting encounter with the infant Jesus and finds a new reason to sing. Picture book, ages 3-8, by the author of the best-selling THE TALE OF THREE TREES.

Five decades before the birth of Christ, Chava, daughter of the royal tutor, grows up with Urbi, a princess in Alexandria’s royal palace. When Urbi becomes Queen Cleopatra, Chava vows to be a faithful friend no matter what—but after she and Cleopatra have an argument, she finds herself imprisoned and sold into slavery. Torn from her family, her community, and her elevated position in Alexandrian society, Chava finds herself cast off and alone in Rome, where she struggles to trust a promise from HaShem. After experiencing the best and worst of Roman society, Chava must choose between love and honor, between her own desires and Adonai’s will for her life.
