One was named Cain, the other, Abel. They were the first children. The first brothers.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe know the story well. But what can it mean for us--and for our children--today? Award-winning author Sandy Eisenberg Sasso recasts the biblical tale of Cain and Abel in a way that invites adults and kids to a conversation about anger and our power to deal with it in positive ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCain and Abel were born into God's garden called Earth, a world of bright days for working in their fields and peaceful nights to share the stories of their dreams. The first children, the first brothers, they were so much alike yet so different--Cain a shepherd, Abel a farmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey lived side by side, surrounded by trees where wonderful, exotic fruits of many kinds grew: everywhere orapples, rasdew, and banangerines ripened all on a single branch. The air was sweet with the smell of pinango, limeberry, and waterloupe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut jealousy, anger, and fear took all this away. Cain and Abel's happiness came to an end, and with it, the trees' ability to grow these special fruits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a world often hurt by violence, this retold biblical story gives children and adults a starting point for discussing anger and its effects on those around us. By harnessing the power we have to deal with our emotions in positive ways, we can once again cultivate the fruits of peace--and change the world for the better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jewish Lights Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781580231237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sydney Taylor Book Award - Notable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2001 pg. 573\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2001 pg. 723\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 768\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2002 pg. 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 400 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2002 pg. 400 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sandy Eisenberg Sasso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660473069724,"sku":"9781580231237","price":20.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1512cfd5-458a-4a94-84a9-1e8f483dc55d.jpg?v=1603896800","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cain-abel-finding-the-fruits-of-peace-9781580231237","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
