Samson's Gift is just beautiful. The artwork is outstanding and the text is written well especially for an early elementary child. It is a picture book that could generate much discussion between teacher/parent and child. It is not only for enjoyment but a great learning tool. Readers could talk about sheep, the story of Christmas, and other stories in the Bible about Samson, Jacob, and Joseph.
