Reviews

Booklist

“Joyful images of the boy and the smiling sun, flowers, and butterflies will attract children, who will enjoy the legend of the strong child who grows up to tell others about One God and to father three great religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.”
Booklist

Kirkus Reviews

“Jules bases her clearly and effortlessly told legend on several interpretations in the Midrash suggesting how the boy Abraham developed a belief in one unseen God…A promising presentation for early childhood religious instruction.”

Publishers Weekly

“Young readers will find much to connect with in Abraham’s curiosity about the world in the accessible text.”

School Library Journal

“This simply told tale is an excellent introduction to the concept of monotheism, and would be a great discussion starter for talking about God.”

The Horn Book Guide

“The textured illustrations stay true to the simple beauty Abraham finds in nature.”
