SAMSON�S GIFT wraps the historic `Babe in the Manger� tale in a new cloak, and what a cloak it is; made of wool fit for a King. Its donor, Samson, is an orphaned 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. Enter Three Wise Men who have followed a special star that now 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.

Young and old will delight in the author�s 24 empathetic paintings; she being Ellen Diederich, an acclaimed illustrator. Ellen knows her subject well having grown up on a farm and currently resides in Fargo, North Dakota.
