Joseph, the Dreamer

Joseph has dreams no one can understand — and a colorful coat his own brothers can't stand to look at. Their jealousy grows so strong they sell him into slavery and lie straight to their father's face. Joseph becomes a foreigner, then a prisoner, then Egypt's governor. And when the same brothers who betrayed him stand before him, hungry and not recognizing his face, Joseph chooses to forgive.

What your child will discover inside

• The tearful reunion, and the forgiveness Joseph chooses to give people who didn't deserve it

Told faithfully from Genesis 37-46 — twenty pieces of silver, not thirty; a cistern, not a well; nothing Scripture records precisely was swapped out for easy drama. Illustrated in rich color for ages 6-8. At the end, a verse to keep in your heart and ready-made questions for parents to talk through with their kids after reading. The right story to start talking with your child about forgiveness before life teaches that lesson the hard way.
