Caleb & Shalev by Max Ediger
Illustrated by Lucia Wah Sui Kwan
Max Ediger brings us a new story of Christmas in his inspirational children's book, Caleb & Shalev.
Caleb is a lame little orphan boy who is terribly mistreated by the shepherds who care for him. The only love that he receives is from a little crippled lamb who he cares for named Shalev, meaning peaceful heart.
While following the shepherds on their journey to see a king, Caleb comes upon a stable in which a baby has been born. To his surprise he is told that the baby is Jesus the King and as he had no other gift to give, he presented Shalev to Jesus. His act of kindness brings peace to Caleb's heart and to the heart of the shepherds who had been treating him so poorly.
Author Max Ediger wants children to enjoy the story of Christmas from a different perspective. By seeing the story through the eyes of the child Caleb, the young reader can relate to the story in a whole new way.
