‘The story of Deborah is hidden among the stories of the Judges - the more popular Judges being Samson & Gideon. There are very few books that help children (and parents) understand better the story of Deborah. This book does that - and in an extremely engaging way. The repeated refrain found in this particular book about listening & obeying God was so catchy my 2 year old could repeat it to me after reading the book to her just once. I absolutely love the books in these series because they hold such great truths for little ones that also serve as much needed reminders to me the parent as I read these books to my child.’ Ruth Quek
