Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Samson's Gift a 2015 Gold Illumination award winner. It is a book that is a keeper. A wonderful children's Book about Samson, an orphaned lamb who teaches about giving. Brilliant, narrative Neo-Impressionistic paintings by the author frame this amazing sheep Christmas story where Tedra, the shepherdess, nurtures an orphaned lamb "Samson" and later protects him from being sheared and sold. The love of animals is reflected back to the Christ Child with grace and beauty. Midwest Book Review Age 5 & up This is a book for all ages and is highly recommended to augment holiday family traditions.
