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 shoemakers cheerful optimism cannot be shaken. But the biggest challenge of the poor mans life is yet to come! Ann Stamplers retelling of this classic Afghani Jewish folktale is enriched by Carol Liddiment’s charming and vivid paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Albert Whitman \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44959859834933,"sku":"ByrdShop_0807592013","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780807592014_a3c17823-bc0f-44ac-872c-95a7e3414513.jpg?v=1792332333","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-wooden-sword-a-jewish-folktale-from-afghanistan-9780807592014","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
