(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jane Dippold. A gentile grandfather tells his Jewish granddaughter the story of Jethro (Moses's Midianite father-in-law) and his Jewish grandson, Moses's son Gershom. The parallels between modern-day family and the biblical one are effective, but the storytelling is confusing. An author's note and the text itself promote the agenda of encouraging acceptance within interfaith families. Sand-color illustrations exude familial warmth.
