A lesson in hope for every child who has worried about what comes next. Now a board book based on Adam & Eve's First Sunset!Adam and Eve were enjoying their first day on Earth when they noticed the sky growing darker, the sun drifting toward the ground. Without the sun's heat and light, the night grew cold and dark. Adam and Eve were frightened. What was God doing? Was God taking away the sun?With the first sunset, Adam and Eve learn how to get through the night and not be afraid of the dark. And when the new day dawns, they bless God for creating the day and the night.

In this modern retelling of the Shabbat angel’s legend, Esther and Chaim’s family is put to the test!Each week, the Shabbat angels visit homes around the world, blessing the ones that honor the Shabbat. “May next Shabbat be just like this one!” Tov, the angel of good, will say. But if they find a home where Shabbat is dishonored, then the opposite angel, Rah, gets a turn: “May next Shabbat be just like THIS one!”Whenever the angels have visited Chaim and Esther’s family, the angels have seen laughing children, warmth, and Shabbat peace. But this week, Esther and Chaim have had a terrible disagreement, and there are no smiles- only a family with angry and sad faces. Will the Angel Rah get his way? Will Shabbat peace disappear from the family’s home forever?
