Disguised in servantâ€™s clothes, an Afghani shah slips out of his palace to learn more about his people. When he encounters a poor Jewish shoemaker full of faith that everything will turn out just as it should, the shah grows curious. Vowing that no harm will befall the poor man, he decides to test that faith, only to find that the shoemakerâ€™s cheerful optimism cannot be shaken. But the biggest challenge of the poor manâ€™s life is yet to come! Ann Stamplerâ€™s retelling of this classic Afghani Jewish folktale is enriched by Carol Liddimentâ€™s charming and vivid paintings.
