The Raven and the Dove, the Big Fish, and the Stubborn Donkey: Stories of Animals from the Bible - Paperback
by Sandy Eisenberg Sasso (Author), Roy DeLeon (Illustrator)
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.
