Abraham's Search for God
“Who made the clouds?” Abraham asks. “Who made the flowers?” Even as a child, he knows there must be something greater than idols of clay and stone. As he observes and questions the world around him, Abraham comes to the conclusion that there is one God. A creative midrash about the father of the world’s religions.

Reviews
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.”
