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.
"Samson, is an orphaned Merino lamb, adopted by Tedra, a shepherd's daughter. As Samson matures, his unusually fine wool is due to be sheared, but thanks to Tedra, his protector, he escapes the shears. Three Wise Men who have followed a special star illuminates a nearby stable in which they find a baby laid in a manger full of prickly straw, wrapped in strips of cloth torn from the parent's clothing. Samson volunteers his precious wool to protect the newborn. At the conclusion of this inspirational story about giving your best gift and giving for the right reason, is a glossary of sheep facts."--Amazon.com.
