(2) K-3 Illustrated by Jon J Muth. With characteristic confidence, Kimmel retells the story of Gershon, "not always the best person he could be." A "wonder rabbi" intercedes to grant the childless Gershon and his good wife twins--but with a future caution; their fate will be caught up with their father's pride and selfishness. Muth's washes of color create a range of moods in this quietly moralistic Hasidic tale.
