The Raven and The Dove, /the Big Fish, and The Stubborn Donkey - Sandy Eisenberg Sasso
| Availability: | In stock |
From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke’s parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own. Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah’s ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.
REVIEWS
“Sandy Eisenberg Sasso has a gift for sparking religious imagination in children—and in the rest of us. In her new book, three iconic biblical stories are told from the animals’ perspectives and new life and meaning is breathed into them. The unwilling raven, the whale who describes Jonah as a ‘bitter pill,’ and the donkey who knows herself to be her master’s ‘greatest asset’ are a delight. Fresh, funny, and wise, this book is a treat.” —Jennifer Grant, author of Maybe God Is Like That Too and A Little Blue Bottle
