Description
Young Akiva was a goat-herd. He was good at his job and content with his life, except for one thing - he had never learnt to read. One fateful day he decided it was time to change this... This is the inspirational story of Rabbi Akiva's personal journey from poor goat-herd to a leading scholar. Elegant prose from renowned author Shoham Smith and striking illustrations from award-winning artist Vali Mintzi illuminate this beautiful and universal tale about how it's never too late to learn.
