Moses and the Runaway Lamb
When a small lamb scampers away from her flock, the young shepherd Moses wonders whether he should chase after her or let her fend for herself in the wilderness. He decides to go after her, not knowing that God is watching. God sees that Moses is the kind of leader who will take care of all the Jewish people when the time comes to leave Egypt.

Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“Though simple, this one is sure to spark conversation; it can be shared not only in anticipation of or during Passover, but also to open up discussion of duty. A well-told story of an act of biblical and historical significance.”―Kirkus Reviews
Association of Jewish Libraries
“Jacqueline Jules adds to her successful Jewish literary tales oeuvre with this lovely and uplifting story of Moses when he was just a teenage shepherd…A nice message for children who are learning about their Jewish heritage.”―Association of Jewish Libraries
